ʻO ka Halemai Liona ʻEleʻele, ka haukapila nui loa o ʻAitiopa, he kumu e hoʻolauleʻa ai i ka Kalikimaka ma mua, ʻoiai ua ʻōlelo ʻo Boeing ua hui pū ʻo ia me Ethiopian Airlines a me Seattle Anesthesia Outreach (SAO) no ka lawe ʻana i kēia pule i nā mea hana anesthesia e pono ai i ka haukapila. Ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo Ethiopian Airlines e hāʻawi i nā lako o ka haukapila me kāna mokulele lōʻihi, 777-200.
"Ke hana pū nei ʻo Boeing a me kāna mau hoa mokulele e hoʻopiha i nā wahi kaʻa kaʻa i kekahi manawa e kōkua i ka hoʻomaha ʻana i ka poʻe a puni ka honua," wahi a Liz Warman, ka luna o Boeing Global Corporate Citizenship no ka ʻĀkau Komohana.

"Mai kona hoʻomaka ʻana, ua komo ʻo Ethiopian Airlines i nā ʻoihana kuleana pilikanaka like ʻole, e kākoʻo ana i nā hana kaiāulu a me nā hana hoʻomohala," wahi a Ato Girma Wake, Luna Nui o Ethiopian Airlines. “ʻIke mākou i kā mākou mau mokulele ʻaʻole he kumu waiwai wale nō no kā mākou mokulele, akā he kumu no ka lawelawe koʻikoʻi no ka poʻe o ʻAitiopa a i ka wā e hiki ai iā mākou ke hoʻohana i kēlā kumuwaiwai ma ke ʻano e like me kēia; ʻoiaʻiʻo ia e hōʻoiaʻiʻo i kā mākou kūpaʻa e hana i nā kuleana pilikanaka i kēlā me kēia manawa a me nā wahi āpau e hiki ai iā mākou.
Wahi a ka mea hana mokulele kalepa ma Wakinekona, ʻo 777-200LR hou ʻo Ethiopian Airlines (ʻo kāna lua o ʻelima 777-200LRs ma ke kauoha) e hāʻawi ma kahi o 12,000 paona (5,443 kg) o nā lako olakino, ka nui o nā mīkini anesthesia, nā mākaʻikaʻi a me nā puke, mai ʻO Seattle Anesthesia Outreach i ka Halemai Liona ʻEleʻele ma Addis Ababa, ʻAitiopa. ʻO ka Halemai Liona ʻEleʻele ka haukapila nui loa ma ʻAitiopa a me ka haukapila aʻo nui loa no ke Kulanui o Addis Medical School.
"Ua hauʻoli mākou i ka manawa kūpono e hana pū me Boeing a me Ethiopian Airlines e hoʻohana i kēia mokulele e kākoʻo i kā mākou hana ma ʻAitiopia," wahi a Kauka Mark Cullen, hope pelekikena a me ka hoʻokumu pū ʻana o SAO.

Ua ʻōlelo pū ʻo Boeing, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā lako lapaʻau e hoʻouna ʻia ana i ʻAitiopa i hāʻawi ʻia e Swedish Medical Center, ʻo ia ka mea nui loa a ʻoi aku ka nui o nā mea mālama ola olakino ma ka ʻāina ʻo Seattle. Ma waho aʻe o ka hāʻawi ʻana i nā lako lapaʻau, 12 mau kauka pili a me nā limahana lapaʻau mai Suedena i hāʻawi manawaleʻa manawaleʻa e hana manawaleʻa ma ke ʻano o nā huakaʻi kōkua kanaka a SAO i ʻAitiopa.
Wahi a Boeing, ʻo kāna papahana Humanitarian Delivery Flights (HDF) he hana laulima ma waena o Boeing, nā mea kūʻai mokulele a me nā hui waiwai ʻole e hāʻawi i nā kōkua kōkua kanaka a puni ka honua i nā kaiāulu pilikia a pilikia paha. "Hoʻouka ʻia nā mea kōkua kanaka i loko o ka wahi ukana ʻole o nā mokulele hou e hāʻawi ʻia a lawe ʻia i ka home o ka mea kūʻai aku."
Ma kāna ʻāpana, ua haʻi ʻo Ethiopian Airlines i kāna kūpaʻa ʻana ma ke ʻano he hui ʻoihana kuleana e kākoʻo i nā hana kaiāulu kūpono, i hoʻolālā ʻia e kōkua i ke kūkulu ʻana i nā ola hoʻomau no kēlā me kēia kanaka, ke kaiāulu a me ka lehulehu. I ka hana ʻana pēlā, ua haʻalele ʻo ia i kāna hōʻailona ma nā ʻoihana kaiaulu nui.
