Flying Eye Hospital Takes Off With Support From AkzoNobel
AMSTERDAM - The world's only Flying Eye Hospital, which takes doctors around the world to treat patients with curable blindness, has been repainted with support from AkzoNobel.
Operated by Orbis, a non-profit organization that transports medical experts to developing countries, the DC-10 houses a fully equipped ophthalmic hospital and a 48-seat classroom. The aircraft was recently given new livery, with AkzoNobel supplying all the coatings.
