Air Canada has joined forces with aid organisations Project CURE and GlobalMedic to fly medical supplies to Ukrainian refugees.

Air Canada will deploy a Dreamliner on the route, offering three cabins

The airline loaded up one of its Dreamliners with hospital beds, humanitarian aid and medical supplies, and then flew them out to Warsaw in Poland on Wednesday (9 March), with some of the supplies destined for the Ukrainian city of Lviv.

The aid has been provided by disaster relief organisations Project CURE and GlobalMedic.

Project CURE will oversee the distribution of the supplies, which will allow local hospitals to expand capacity. Aid agencies have identified primary care as one of the most pressing needs in the Ukraine crisis.
