The plane will return to Argentine soil today, around 7 p.m., with the first shipment of 800 thousand doses. From Wednesday 7, meanwhile, flights will begin to take off daily until Thursday 15. The returns of these flights are scheduled every day until July 15, when the last of this first stage will arrive, completing at that time the first 8 million doses of Shinopharm vaccines acquired in China.La departure of the flight was confirmed by the president of the flag line, Pablo Ceriani, through his Twitter account.” July arrived and excellent news for the vaccination campaign. We are going to make 10 flights of Aerolineas Argentinas to China to bring to the country 8 million doses of Sinopharm. The first took off today at 12.59, the remaining 9 will leave consecutively from July 7 to 15, “said the manager. In this regard, he added: “A year ago we flew for the first time to China to bring medical supplies, today we are preparing an unprecedented operation with 10 flights in a row to bring vaccines to the country. Three of our A330s will be engaged in this task and will make the route to Beijing with a technical stopover in Madrid, “he said from his TW account.” Since we started this logistical task we have carried out 28 operations, bringing more than 15 million doses to the country,” Ceriani concluded in his tweeting thread.
