Cargo charters to Islamabad
 
The Saudi Arabian Airlines MD-11 and 747F are flying relief goods for earthquake victims on a daily basis.

AN-225 flew in stuff from the US and Canada last week.

Lufthansa Cargo used an Atlas Air 747F to fly in there.

Loads of IL-76 of various unknown CIS airlines as well as Indian and Iranian Air Force ones, plus Uzbekistan Airways.

Gulf Air advertised that they would carry relief goods donated by people in Saudi Arabia for free. I dont believe that they have a dedicated cargo aircraft, so this will be arriving on their scheduled flights.

FedEx flew an MD11 STN-ISB with tents/sleeping bags on Nov 5th, followed a few days later by a FedEx chartered Gemini MD11 FRA-ISB.

Virgin and Air France 747's flew in supplies to Islamabad as well, apparently AF used a passenger aircraft for the job and not a freighter.

Kalitta Air has been flying one or two charters a week. Some were from Turkey, but there have been others.

Mostly tents like others have said. We were limited to 5 hours the ground because of the limited parking space and volume of aircraft.
