The first flight of “Operation Fly Formula” landed in Indianapolis weighing more than 78, 000 pounds, as part of the Biden administration’s ongoing efforts to address the baby formula shortage. 

According to the White House, the formula brands that the shipment includes is: Alfamino Infant, Alfamino Junior, and Gerber Good Start Extensive HA, and will be distributed to medical offices and pharmacies, but not store shelves. 

Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who greeted the plane on the tarmac, said the shipment will feed about 9,000 babies.

The plane specifically landed in Indianapolis so that it was able to use Nestle’s supply chain infrastructure to get the products shipped across the country. 

In a statement, the White House claims by “bypassing regular air freighting routes will speed up the importation and distribution of formula and serve as an immediate support as manufacturers continue to ramp up production.”

More shipments of formula is expected to arrive in the next coming days. 

The Biden administration has struggled to relieve the formula crisis nationwide, due to the closure of the largest domestic manufacturing plant in Michigan.
