Delmar and Air Canada Deliver Urgent PPE

MONTREAL, April 20, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Delmar International Inc. (delmarcargo.com), will uplift more than 25 million units of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) this month from China to healthcare networks across Canada and over 60 million globally. These ongoing efforts are being accomplished with the close collaboration and support of Delmar's global clients and our Canadian national airline partners at Air Canada.

The suspension of passenger flights globally has resulted in a significant reduction of airfreight capacity, posing a massive challenge in the timely delivery of protective equipment. Our partners at Air Canada swiftly responded to this urgent need. Delmar International’s Director of National Air Freight, Carmen Araujo explains,

Delmar has been working tirelessly with Air Canada, both in China and Canada, to coordinate origin vendor orders, satisfy export customs clearance, palletize, prepare mass quantities of cargo and deploy security measures to ensure all PPE was safeguarded and in secure premises. These global efforts are being coordinated using daily business continuity methods while working from home and leveraging the expertise of over 40 Delmar executives. 

Delmar will continue to operate charters and have significant allocations of fixed capacity on Air Canada's daily Shanghai routes, which will be critical in supplying the essential cargo space needed. 

Delmar will rely on its air, ground and ocean network capabilities to support its clients by helping them navigate through the changing global conditions and to continue delivering its share of the protective equipment for our healthcare workers, first-line responders and communities so that they remain safe.
