Please try againAir Cargo Hub Punta Cana — a joint logistics platform developed by DP World and Grupo Puntacana — coordinated the operation and provided logistics management, cargo processing and operational support to facilitate the efficient movement of relief supplies. Grupo Velutini, in coordination with Athiopica, managed the collection, sorting and consolidation of donated goods, while UniWorld Air Cargo provided the aircraft capacity required to transport the shipments to Venezuela.Manuel Martínez, CEO of DP World’s operations in the Dominican Republic, said: “At DP World, we believe logistics is about more than moving cargo — it is about connecting people and supporting communities, particularly when it matters most. By working alongside our partners, we were able to leverage our infrastructure and operational expertise to help deliver critical humanitarian supplies quickly and efficiently to those affected by this disaster.”“This initiative reflects the power of collaboration across business sectors. We are grateful to UniWorld Air Cargo, Grupo Velutini and Athiopica for joining us in making this humanitarian operation possible and demonstrating what can be achieved when organizations work together with a shared purpose,” Martínez added.Luis Emilio Velutini, CEO of Grupo Velutini, said: “For Grupo Velutini, it was essential to rise to the occasion during such a difficult time for Venezuela. We established BlueMall as a collection center and became fully involved in every stage of the operation: collection, sorting, repackaging, and preparing the shipments. This effort was only possible thanks to the dedication of dozens of volunteers and the work of Athiopica, which ensured that the aid reached those who needed it most. We are proud to see what can be achieved when all partners come together around a cause that matters to all of us.”Romen González, CEO of UniWorld Air Cargo, said: “At UniWorld Air Cargo, we believe that air cargo has a purpose that goes beyond transportation. When communities face emergencies, it is our responsibility to put our operational capabilities at the service of those who need them most. Contributing to the delivery of this humanitarian aid to Venezuela is a commitment we embraced with a deep sense of responsibility and humanity.”This advertisement has not loaded yet.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.For more insights into how DP World is reshaping global trade, visit our website: www.dpworld.comFor media enquiries, please contact:Melina Vissat, Head of CommunicationsM: (+1) 704-605-6159E: melina.vissat@dpworld.comDP World is reshaping the future of global trade to improve lives everywhere.
