New York (CNN) New Hampshire received more than half a million face masks on Saturday, courtesy of Boeing and inventor Dean Kamen.

Boeing's 737-700 aircraft flew nearly 540,000 medical-grade face masks from China to Manchester-Boston Regional airport, as part of a deal coordinated by Kamen, who brought 91,000 pounds of personal protective equipment to the state last weekend. Kamen obtained the face masks from manufacturers in China through his company DEKA Research and Development, Corp.

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu, along with Boeing President and CEO Dave Calhoun, Kamen, and congressional members from the state, were on-site at the airport to greet and unload the aircraft filled with PPE.

The state purchased the shipment of personal protective equipment and will be distributing supplies to areas across the states that need it most.

There will be no costs for recipients, and Boeing is covering the cost of transporting the equipment from China. The trip also marks Boeing's first Covid-19 response mission using a company-owned corporate 737-700, the company said. The supply distribution is a part of New Hampshire's ongoing efforts to respond to the coronavirus pandemic.
