The relief shipment comprised of 23,000 pounds (10,455 kilos) of winter clothing targeted for those living in the western part of Bangladesh – a part of the country which experiences severe winters. The shipment also included educational supplies for children.

Boeing and Emirates joined hands with the non-profit organization SpaandaB whose mission is to bring about socio-economic change among the less-privileged people in Bangladesh by addressing their education needs and health services
 
Since 1992, Boeing has facilitated more than 150 humanitarian delivery flights, working in partnership with nearly 55 different airlines worldwide. 
 
“Boeing, through its Global Corporate Citizenship organisation, supports relief efforts around the world in partnership with nongovernmental agencies and nonprofits like SpaandaB. Through these collaborative efforts, and with our airline partners, we bring relief and hope to people in need," said Boeing’s Liz Warman.
 
Ram Menen, divisional senior vice president of Emirates SkyCargo, said: "Emirates is committed to supporting humanitarian efforts. Providing cargo space for the relief shipment for those in need in Bangladesh onboard our delivery flight is something we were happy to endorse."
