KOCHI: Ever since the coronavirus forced nations to stop airline traffic, life has not been easy up in the air. But that has not stopped Shanid Musthafa, a commercial pilot from Kannur, from flying in and out of China and other southeast Asian countries for the past one month transporting medicines.
Though a licenced commercial passenger airline pilot, Shanid’s mission changed from carrying passengers to transporting medicines and medical equipment in the past one month.
Undaunted by all the strict measures put in place by these countries to fight the spread of the virus, he says social distancing, personal hygiene, and home quarantine are vital to containing the spread of the disease.
