Since the novel coronavirus outbreak, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force has sent four batches of transport aircraft since January 24, carrying medical personnel and hospital supplies to virus-hit Wuhan, capital of Hubei Province.
On February 13, the PLA air force dispatched China's domestic-made large transport aircraft Y-20 to Wuhan to carry out a non-military mission for the first time. The Y-20 was used again for a second mission on February 17.
