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.

"IAG Cargo is committed to swift action during humanitarian crises," said John Cheetham, Chief Commercial Officer. "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.”

High Commissioner for Grenada, Her Excellency Rachér Croney profoundly thanked all involved in making this donation a reality: “Without the efforts of Grenadians in the diaspora answering the call and rising to the challenge this could not have been possible and we certainly could not have done it without the partnerships and philanthropic contributions of international organisations such as IAG Cargo. We are thankful for their assistance and generosity during our time of need.”

IAG Cargo has previously supported other significant 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.
