Astral Aviation transported 100 metric tons of humanitarian cargo to the Democratic Republic of Congo using a Boeing 737-400 freighter. The relief supplies originated in Europe, passed through Liège Airport in Belgium, and connected through Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya before reaching Bunia in the DRC. Air freight enables rapid delivery of emergency assistance to regions with limited ground infrastructure. East African hubs like Nairobi provide important logistics corridors for reaching central African destinations during crises. Freight operators using this route can deliver time-sensitive medical and relief materials to remote areas quickly.
