The world’s largest cargo plane, the massive Antonov 124 aircraft of Volga Dnepr, has left Belfast flying three 18-tonne oxygen generators and 1,000 ventilators as part of the United Kingdom’s latest response to India’s Covid-19 crisis.
Staff at Belfast International Airport worked through the night to load 60 tonnes of life-saving kit, funded by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.
Each of the three oxygen generation units –housed in 40ft freight containers – are able to produce 500 litres of oxygen per minute, enough to treat 50 people at a time on ventilators. Northern Ireland health minister, Robin Swann, was at Belfast International Airport to see the generators dispatched.
