Korean Air has initiated emergency relief efforts for victims of the earthquake in Kumamoto, Japan.
The airline announced on August 3 that it has provided 1,000 boxes of Jeju Pure Water, totaling 12,000 bottles of 1.5 liters each, for the affected residents.
The emergency supplies were transported on the KE557 cargo flight from Incheon to Kitakyushu on the afternoon of August 1. They will be delivered by road from Kitakyushu Airport to the earthquake-affected areas in Kumamoto for use as drinking water.
On July 28, a magnitude 7.1 earthquake struck Kumamoto, resulting in dozens of casualties and a significant number of displaced individuals. The situation has been exacerbated by a heatwave.
Meanwhile, Korean Air is committed to fulfilling its responsibilities as a global corporate citizen by providing free emergency relief supplies to disaster-stricken areas, including those affected by earthquakes and floods, both domestically and internationally.
