Second chance to send mail to Australia opens up
In the first repatriation flight this year, 1 387 kilograms of mail was sent to Australia.
A SECOND repatriation flight to Australia, via Qantas, has been scheduled and SA Post Office said this has created a second chance for its customers to send through postal items to the Land Down Under.
In the first repatriation flight in August this year, 1 387 kilograms of mail was sent to Australia. To have mail added to the flight, the post office said all items destined for Australia must be handed in at their local post office by September 7.

“No items containing liquids, animal or plant products, medication or drugs may be posted. Items under pressure, such as aerosols which could explode in an unpressurised aircraft, may not be posted. All outgoing parcels are x-rayed to check the contents for banned items,” said the SA Post Office’s Nobuhle Njapha.
Njapha noted that once the repatriation plane departs, Australia will once again be closed to postal imports and exports.
