St Helena Chartered Flight
We are very pleased to announce that all of our airfreight was loaded onto the chartered flight last night and we were also granted an additional 3 cubic meters of freight for this flight that was quickly filled.
St Helena Christmas Voyages -
We would like to thank everyone that used our service to get their Christmas goods to St Helena this year. The last two voyages have been extremely busy for us and everyone has been working flat out over the last couple months to ensure that all orders are placed and everything is identified and shipped.
The airfreight service is also very popular but the available space on the aircraft for cargo is proving to be a real problem and we are reaching capacity long before the closing date. We are in talks with the airline to try and increase our allocation and will update everyone once we have more information.
St Helena Chartered Flight - October
Please note that we are now over capacity for the upcoming chartered flight to St Helena. We are currently trying to push for additional space on the aircraft and are waiting for an update.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us and we will get back to you as soon as possible. You can reach out to us by phone or email or you can fill in the form and send us your enquiries.
