Words cannot express the horror and sadness we feel as we learn more about the Türkiye-Syria earthquake that occurred on February 6. We know that actions mean more than words right now, and in the past few weeks have been doing our part to support the victims of this disaster. Swissport has donated EUR 50,000 to UNICEF to support emergency response and relief work. Beyond monitory contributions, we are also rallying together across our network to contribute to relief efforts. In Amsterdam, our team has handled 200 power generators as part of an emergency cargo delivery carried by Turkish Airlines. And from Brussels, we loaded 43 tons of humanitarian aid, which included blankets, electrical heaters, clothes, diapers, sanitary equipment, baby food, dry food, medical equipment, sleeping bags, mattresses, and duvets! This week, our ramp crews at Zurich Airport Ltd and Genève Airport loaded more than 200 tons of additional supplies on flights of Turkish Airlines to Turkey for distribution to the affected regions. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the victims and their families.

Since 1976 each US President has designated February as Black History Month and encouraged the American people to learn and focus on the achievements of the African American community. President Gerald Ford officially recognized the first Black History Month in 1976 and called upon the American people to “seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history.” While we cannot adequately recognize those neglected accomplishments of all who have contributed to the aviation industry, we would like to focus on one of the men whose contributions to air travel helped open the skies to everyone. Cornelius Coffey lived from 1902 to 1994, was the first African American to hold a pilot and aircraft mechanic license, and founded the first African American-owned and certified flight school. Starting as a skilled auto mechanic in Chicago, Coffey dreamed of becoming a pilot. Facing difficulty in applying to flight schools that would not admit him because he was black, Coffey built his own plane
