Boeing Uses Nok Air Delivery for Special Humanitarian Aid Mission to Thailand

Boeing has used an aircraft delivery to Nok Air for a special humanitarian aid mission to Thailand.

With the help of the international non-profit organization Vital Voices, whose mission it is to invest in and empower women leaders, Nok Air's 22nd Next-Generation B737-800 will transport and deliver nearly 30 boxes full of relief items including clothes and school supplies.

The items are headed to The Children's Advocacy Center Thailand (ACT), a non-profit organization dedicated to better the lives of abused children and youth in Thailand. Representatives from ACT will deliver the aid to impacted children and youth throughout Thailand.

"We are honored that Nok Air partnered with The Boeing Company to deliver humanitarian aid to the many children in Thailand who are in need," said Sam Whiting, Director, Global Corporate Citizenship, Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "We look forward to working closely with Nok Air and non-profit organizations like ACT in Thailand to identify future opportunities."

As part of a tradition in naming its new airplanes, the Bangkok-based Nok Air has designated this particular airplane 'Fah Kram', which means blue skies.

The airline currently has two additional Next-Generation 737s on order with Boeing after this latest delivery. Nok Air is also a 737 MAX customer with eight 737 MAX 8 airplanes on order.
