Emirates SkyCargo, the freight division of Dubai's national carrier Emirates, will carry flood relief cargo of over 175 tonne to south Indian state of Kerala, joining the UAE community in their support to the affected people of the state.

More than a dozen flights, the air cargo operator will transport the relief goods, which have been donated by various UAE-based businesses and organisations, to state capital Thiruvananthapuram - the nearest online Emirates station to the areas most affected by the flood, said a statement from the Emirati carrier.

The goods, including lifesaving boats, blankets and dry food items, will be handed over to the local flood relief and aid organisations for distribution, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
