A plane filled with disaster relief supplies is set to arrive on Guam today to assist the island following the destruction left behind by Typhoon Mawar.  

United Airlines launched its first humanitarian flight to Guam, a Boeing 777 from San Francisco.

The team is set to arrive at the A.B. Won Pat International Airport around 2 p.m. today.

The aid in this first shipment includes cases of blood product, each blood donation has the potential to save more than one life; 480 clean up kits including work gloves, trash bags, collapsible mop, cleaning materials, etc.; and 5,760 comfort kits including hygiene products like soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, facial tissues, and more.

Having been a part of the Guam community since 1968, United has 800 employees on the island and has been actively checking on their welfare, assessing damage at the airport, making plans to assist in the humanitarian response and working to provide access to and from the island.

The local airport remains closed to commercial flights until May 30.

United officials said they are working alongside the Guam International Airport Authority to resume commercial service as soon as the airport is able to manage flight operations and passengers in the terminal. 

United has canceled scheduled Guam flights through Monday, May 29, and extended a travel waiver through June 5.
