St Helena Chartered Flight
We have been advised that the next chartered flight to St Helena will leave the UK on the 15th of September.
We are very pleased to announce that our freight allocation for the upcoming chartered flight has been doubled. The airline has not guaranteed that everything will be loaded but they have allocated us additional volume based on the space left on the aircraft.
We should now be able to load almost all airfreight that has arrived with us.
Grocery Orders - New Email Address
Please note that we have now had to bring in a new system for processing grocery orders (Asda, Tesco, Morrison's etc). We must receive an email confirmation of your order with a list of all goods before we can process the order.
Please send the order confirmation email you receive from the supermarket to our new email address -
[email protected]
St Helena Chartered Flight
Please note that we are now over double our allocation for the upcoming chartered flight and still have orders flooding in.
We are still pushing for additional space on the aircraft but we will not know until all cargo is at the airport. All orders arriving now will have to be processed for the flight in January.
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.
