IAG Cargo, the cargo division of International Airlines Group, is working with organisations such as the Grenada Overseas Association Manchester and All Saints Parish Church Bedford, alongside the Grenada High Commission in the U.K. to transport aid to Grenada following the devastating impact of Hurricane Beryl on July 1.
“In early August, critical aid was flown on a British Airways 777 to Maurice Bishop International Airport, delivering vital relief in the wake of Beryl’s devastation. The shipment, facilitated by IAG Cargo, included first aid kits, water purification systems, bedding, non-perishable food items and hygiene supplies, addressing urgent needs in housing, agriculture and infrastructure,” says an official release.
“IAG Cargo is committed to swift action during humanitarian crises,” says John Cheetham, Chief Commercial Officer, IAG Cargo. “Leveraging our global network, we are proud to collaborate with charities to deliver essential aid to Grenada, and I’m thankful to our team who have worked to support this effort.”
IAG Cargo has supported other efforts including 125 tonnes of aid shipments with the British Red Cross to Ukraine, the donation of 3,000 cricket items to Pakistan following the flooding crisis and the skeleton cast movement of the world’s largest dinosaur ahead of the Natural History Museum’s exhibition, the release added.
