Over 3,600 oxygen concentrators lands in Delhi from China

Setting a new record, the biggest-ever single consignment of oxygen concentrators landed in New Delhi from China on Sunday afternoon amid the Covid-19 crisis in India.

A consignment of more than 3,600 oxygen concentrators weighing approximately 100 tonnes arrived from Hangzhou Airport in China in a Boeing 747-400 wide-body aircraft.

The jumbo charter landed at Delhi airport at 3:18 pm on Sunday, said Jaspreet Singh, National Sales Head at Bollore Logistics India.

Bollore Logistics India, a multinational transport and logistics company, executed this import. They overcame complex logistical challenges in close coordination with the Embassy of India in Beijing to implement the same.

As India battles the devastating second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic and the demand for medical supplies including oxygen concentrators surges, this huge consignment will cater to the demand in Delhi NCR as well as other badly affected cities in north India.

This consignment is one of many charters scheduled in the coming weeks. India Today
