United Airlines Flight UA919 arrived from London Heathrow at Dulles International Airport today with 70 cases of Kendamil formula on board – the equivalent of 268,128 8-ounce bottles of formula. This was the first of the United’s 12 donated shipments to support President Biden’s Operation Fly Formula.

United is the first commercial airline to donate free transport of the formula, and will transport more than 300,000 lbs., or approximately 3.7 million 8-ounce bottle equivalents, of Kendamil infant formula in 12 shipments in total over the next 10 days.
