American Airlines distributes 1.5 million Covid-19 vaccines globally





As part of the White House initiative to share at least 80 million US vaccine doses globally this summer, American Airlines moved 1.5 million Covid-19 vaccine doses from Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) to La Aurora International Airport (GUA) in Guatemala City on a Boeing 777-200 aircraft. The shipment departed ORD this morning.

In close consultation with the White House Covid-19 task force, American’s cargo team worked with pharmaceutical partners and trucking logistics specialists to move the shipment of vaccinations from a distribution site in Kentucky to American’s cargo terminal at ORD. The shipments were loaded onto the 777-200 and flew on a special donated cargo-only nonstop flight to GUA.
