BEIJING, Nov. 9 -- After a strong earthquake struck western Nepal and caused a large number of people and property losses, two Y-20 large transport aircraft attached to the Chinese PLA Air Force were dispatched to transport emergency humanitarian relief supplies to Nepal on the morning of November 8. The Y-20s took off from the Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport at 8 am on Wednesday, with a total of 50 tons of urgently needed cotton tents, blankets and other humanitarian relief supplies for earthquake rescue and disaster relief, which were donated by the Chinese government.

北京,11月9日 -- 当地时间11月3日23时47分,尼泊尔西部地区发生强烈地震,造成大量人员和财产损失。11月8日清晨,空军航空兵某部紧急出动2架运-20运输机,从成都双流机场起飞向尼泊尔运送共约50吨急需的棉帐篷、毛毯等救援物资,以帮助尼泊尔开展抗震救灾工作。

Faced with the test of unfamiliar terrain and complex plateau environment, the crew members made full preparations and got a safe landing at Pokhara International Airport in Nepal at 11:40 am on Nov. 8, Beijing time.

此次飞赴尼泊尔需要经受陌生地域和高原复杂环境天气考验,运-20机组提前进行了充分准备,最终于北京时间11月8日11时40分成功抵达尼泊尔博克拉机场。

It is learnt that the Y-20 transport planes had flown to Afghanistan to transport disaster-relief supplies in October this year.

据悉,今年10月,运-20曾飞赴阿富汗执行运送救援物资任务。
