"IATA" calls for preparations to transport the Corona vaccine by air as soon as it becomes available

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) called on the countries of the Middle East to start making the necessary preparations for the transfer and distribution of the Coronavirus vaccine as soon as it becomes available.

The Vice President of the Federation in the Africa and the Middle East Region, Muhammad Ali Al-Bakri, said during a press briefing today that the fleets of airlines in the region should be used to ship the vaccine through the air, given that aircraft designated for air freight will not be sufficient alone to ship the vaccine.

He added that the preparations should include assistance in transport operations, government agencies, travel capacity, training and cross-border operations to ensure the safety of the vaccine supply chain in a completely safe manner, indicating the need to reconsider many measures to deliver the vaccine as soon as possible.
