Lynden Air Cargo is flying water, blankets, beds and other emergency supplies into Samoa and Indonesia in support of relief efforts after earthquakes there and a tsunami in the Samoas. Anchorage-based Lynden has positioned an L100-30 Hercules aircraft in Australia and another in Singapore to fly relief supplies into the disaster areas and has been flying missions since Oct. 1, the company said.

Lynden operates a fleet of six Hercules around the world specializing in servicing remote sites, the company said.

"We will continue to provide relief flights as required to assist in the recovery efforts of the devastated areas. Our aircraft are ideally suited for this work and our crews and support personnel are rapidly responding to bring aid to those in need," said Lynden Air Cargo President Judy McKenzie.
