Korean Air will provide emergency relief goods to those affected by recent earthquakes in Japan's Kumamoto Prefecture.

South Korea's largest airline said Wednesday that its A330 airliner carrying 24-thousand bottles of water left on Flight KE787 headed to Fukuoka in the morning.

According to the company, the one-point-five-liter bottles of water will be transported from Fukuoka Airport to the hard-hit areas in Kumamoto and will be distributed to the residents who are left stranded by the two massive earthquakes last week.

A magnitude-seven tremor struck the Kyushu Island prefecture last Thursday, while a seven-point-three magnitude quake rocked the same region early Saturday.

Korean Air has provided emergency goods to other Asia-Pacific countries hit by natural disasters, including Fiji and Myanmar. Fiji suffered from its worst-ever cyclone in February and Myanmar was hit by a massive flood last summer.
