With supplies critically needed in Northern Iraq, German NGO “Wings of Help” are flying urgently needed aid supplies over. This is aided by Silk Way West Airlines. The situation in North Iraq sees about 4,000 children below the age of three and about 3,500 orphans, and Silk Way West Airlines aids in the cause by sending its 747 full freighter from Frankfurt Hahn Airport having on board infant food, diapers and rusk.

 

“For us this project is a matter truly dear to our heart,” says Wolfgang Meier, President and CEO at Silk Way West Airlines. “We are supporting Wings of Help since a long time and are very proud to be also part of this mission. Wings Of Help is doing a very important job by providing aid supplies to the refugee camps of Hasan Sham and Dibaga and we are doing our utmost to support them with our knowhow and fleet of cargo aircrafts whereever we can.”

 

 

A  Ilyushin 76 of Silkway Airlines is providing the feeder flight from Silk Way West‘s global hub in Baku to Erbil. “Despite the fact that such feeders are daily routine for Silkway, these dedicated aid supplies in cooperation with Wings of Help will always remain something special for all of us at Silkway,” adds Wolfgang Meier.​
