London, United Kingdom (PressExposure) August 10, 2010 -- The charter flight departed within 48 hours of quote confirmation taking off from Brindisi in Italy, to Islamabad, Pakistan, loaded with generators, water purification units, water tanks, plastic sheeting, latrines, jerry cans and high energy biscuits. It touched down in the early hours of Saturday morning.
