When faced with adversity, some organizations rise to the occasion to try to make a difference. From small acts of kindness to generous contributions impacting thousands of people, many of our partners have stepped up and taken action to provide relief to those who need it most during these difficult times.
We are shining a light on our partners who are carrying out good deeds that deserve to be noticed.
Nolinor
On March 16, Nolinor had to race against the clock to repatriate a school group in Guatemala. The chartered flight landed in Guatemala City Airport less than 20 hours after the initial request was made by the school board. The plane flew out with the students and teachers on board 45 minutes before airspace closure.
Nolinor Aviation has once again shown its involvement in the fight against COVID-19 by chartering the Antonov 225 to transport a cargo of 1,000 cubic meters of protective equipment dedicated to healthcare professionals. Hundreds of curious onlookers and members of the media gathered around the Mirabel Airport on May 1st to witness the world’s largest cargo aircraft land.
Tim Hortons
Tim Hortons has dispatched their coffee trucks are across Canada to offer free beverages and baked goods to those who serve our communities. It’s their way to say thank you to those making a big impact.
