Avianca Cargo and DSV have transported 58 tonnes of humanitarian aid to Venezuela following recent earthquakes, using an A330F freighter to deliver medical supplies, food, hygiene products and other essential relief items from Miami to Caracas.
The operation was coordinated with humanitarian organisations including Direct Relief, Global Empowerment Mission, Heart to Heart International and World Central Kitchen to identify needs, manage donations and ensure supplies reached affected communities.
Avianca Cargo said the mission reflects its ongoing commitment to using its logistics network and cargo capabilities across the Americas to support emergency response efforts and deliver critical aid quickly and safely.
