Boeing delivered 540,000 masks from China to the United States Saturday, marking its first completed COVID-19 airlift mission, according to a statement from the airline company.
The masks will be used by frontline medical workers and first responders in New Hampshire, where the Boeing 737-700 landed.
New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu and Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun were in attendance as the aircraft filled with personal protective equipment (PPE) was unloaded at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport.
Boeing said more airlift transport missions with its Boeing Dreamlifter and ecoDemonstrator are planned in the future.
