WCS runs First Direct U.S.-N.Korea Flight in 50 Years


A U.S. humanitarian organization has set a landmark by chartering a direct flight to airlift aid for North Korean flood victims. Samaritan’s Purse president Franklin Graham said on the organization’s homepage Sunday, “We’ve been told that this airlift is the first direct flight from the U.S. to North Korea since the Korean War.” The aid organization sent goods to the North on a chartered Boeing 747, which took off in Charlotte, North Carolina on Thursday and landed in Pyongyang on Friday. Worth US$8 million, they include antibiotics, drugs and plastic housing materials.
