Xiamen Airlines' Jakarta office said that the cargo, consisting of tens of thousands of medical gloves and other 17 ton of epidemic prevention supplies, landed at Jakarta International Airport early Monday morning.
After receiving the request from Indonesia government two days ago, Xiamen Airlines said the company promptly coordinated the related side in China and prepared and safely transported the cargo to Indonesia within 48 hours, adding that this is the airlines' first international carriage after the outbreak of COVID-19.
