Fresh from its maiden voyage to Shenyang, China, the plane arrived in Singapore this week for maintenance with FedEx Express, which donated the aircraft to Orbis.

Assoc Prof Ian Yeo, with the Singapore National Eye Centre, has just returned from volunteering his time in Shenyang. He said the standard of ophthalmic equipment in some of the countries that the Orbis plane visits can be decades old.
"It's important to train people to be able to use the equipment that they already have, and we also show them what some of the state-of-the-art technology onboard can do," he said.
