"Philips and KLM have been important partners for more than a hundred years," said Frans van Houten, CEO Royal Philips. "It is good that we have quickly found each other again in this time of need to make this important airlift to China possible. In combination with the existing airlift to the US, we can now transport essential medical products and supplies faster between the US, Europe and China, helping healthcare providers more quickly in their difficult task of fighting the coronavirus."
