SHG is now pleased to announce that in addition to carrying freight from the UK to St Helena an airfreight service to the UK is available.  Customers wishing to book airfreight for carriage on the next charter flight to the UK are advised to use an appropriate freight forwarding agent such as DHL or Solomon and Company (St Helena) Plc to make the necessary arrangements. Freight forwarding agents will have a critical role to play in ensuring that goods are delivered to the Airport on time and that all required documentation is in place.
