CHICAGO, April 30, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- #boeing [NYSE: BA] today announced a $10 million emergency assistance package for India to support the country's response to the current surge in COVID-19 cases. The assistance from #boeing will be directed to organizations providing relief, including medical supplies and emergency healthcare for communities and families battling COVID-19. The #boeing team in India totals 3,000 employees, in addition to valued local customers, suppliers, and business partners.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has devastated communities across the globe, and our hearts go out to our friends in India who are going through a very difficult time. #boeing is a global citizen, and in India we are directing our pandemic response to the communities most impacted by this recent surge of cases," said Dave Calhoun, president and chief executive officer of The #boeing Company.
