St Helena Airfreight Update![]()

RJI are still working with SHG and Airlink to push through our airfreight consignments and find out why we are experiencing such delays. ![]()

We are now splitting our airfreight down into smaller consignments per AWB to try and avoid everything being bumped from a flight. We have also been using a more expensive booking route for our airfreight which should make it higher priority but this is clearly having mixed results at this stage. ![]()
