Bangkok--23 May--AIRASIA Following up from AirAsia’s recent announcement of its efforts to offer air assistance to facilitate the transportation of aid to cyclone-hit Myanmar, the airline will be transporting one tonne of emergency supplies to the country tomorrow together with four volunteers. The supplies consisting of medical supplies, food, clothing and articles for shelter were collected by United Sikhs Malaysia and will be channeled to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Yangon. A group of four members including one member who is a staff of AirAsia from the United Sikhs Malaysia, was the first batch who flew to Bangkok yesterday and will be taking another flight to Yangon tomorrow. They will be part of the delegation from Malaysia to join the humanitarian aid team to the disaster area caused by Cyclone Nargis. AirAsia has started providing assistance by flying volunteers and using cargo space to transport emergency supplies to Yangon from its Bangkok hub immediately after the disaster hit Myanmar. This is part of AirAsia’s continuing efforts to deliver aid into the country to assist the people who have been severely affected by the cyclone.
