This flight doesn’t have passengers, but does have precious cargo.

We’ve replaced people with face masks and disposable gowns.

Explorate and Monarc Global have successfully chartered a Boeing 777 from Emirates travelling from the South East Asia directly into the USA to support their hospitals in the ongoing fight to control COVID-19. This is one of many aircraft and ocean freight shipments Explorate has completed over the past few months in relation to our COVID-19 response. It’s no lie that moving freight has its new set of challenges, but we are continuously committed to providing a reliable supply chain for our customers.

As COVID-19 hits full speed the Australia GP boss slams the breaks on those suggesting the Australian Grand Prix is at risk of going ahead.

Coronavirus is continuing to spread globally, there are now confirmed 60 countries around the world with more than 87.000 victims and the death toll is nearly 3,000.

Questions are being raised as to what could be canceled in 2020 due to COVID-19. With large established organizations such as Formula 1 facing unforeseen disruption in the wake of the outbreak, supply chains are being stress tested right now and choosing the right partner is more important than ever.

Australian GP CEO says F1 equipment will leave London to come to Melbourne from Monday, adding this week's Superbikes event shows Melbourne's race can be run as scheduled.
