This is the second time in less than a week. A new Airbus military plane brought four million more masks from China this Saturday to Europe thanks to an airlift. "They will be divided equally between the four core countries of Airbus [ie France, Spain, the United Kingdom and Germany]", specifies one of the company's spokespersons at La Dépêche du Midi. Purchases made from the company's own funds to fight the coronavirus epidemic.
After taking off on Thursday for Tianjin, the Airbus A330 MRTT arrived at Toulouse-Blagnac this Saturday afternoon. A first flight earlier this week had brought back 2.5 million masks. All are for the nursing staff.
