Deutsche Bahn Supports Help for Haiti
DB Schenker is organizing the delivery of emergency
relief supplies for "Wings of Help"
On behalf of the “Wings of Help” organization, DB
Schenker is organizing the delivery of emergency relief
supplies by air freight to the people in the Haiti disaster
area.
Donations, primarily from industry, are arriving at
Schenker Deutschland AG’s site in Kelsterbach, in the
immediate vicinity of Frankfurt International Airport.
Materials such as medical supplies and powdered milk are
being prepared for shipment by young DB Schenker employees
working throughout the night on a voluntary basis.
"We're putting all our effort and expertise into getting
the emergency supplies from Germany quickly and smoothly to
Haiti. It helped us enormously that we provided more support
for our Frankfurt sites last year with a new DB Schenker air
freight hub. It means that our logistics operations are now
much more efficient and we will be able to get the shipments
of humanitarian relief even faster to the victims of this
terrible natural disaster who are in need of help," said Dr.
Rüdiger Grube, CEO and Chairman of the Deutsche Bahn
Management Board.
"Wings of Help" is the German group of a network of civil
aviation organizations that operates throughout Europe and
supports relief activities all over the world.
