The cargo shipment will containe 70 tonnes of personal protective equipment for healthcare workers

The company opened up a crowd-fundraising drive seeking € 350,000 to cover the cost of the flight and it has since reached that target.

In a statement on its website, the company thanked the public for their support of the “remarkable people working on the frontline of our healthcare services”. “Thank you everyone who has so kindly donated to this fund. Incredibly, in less than five days, today Sunday April 12th, we have reached the €350,000 target,” the statement said.

“Therefore we will no longer be accepting donations. Your generosity has been overwhelming. It will make a real difference on the front lines for our heroic healthcare professionals.” Last week, U2 announced that it was donating €10 million for the sourcing and purchasing of PPE, in a bid to support frontline healthcare workers during the pandemic.
