IAG cricket gear shipment helps Pakistan get back to normality

[ November 30, 2022   //   Chris Lewis ]

IAG Cargo has worked with the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), Lord’s Taverners, Football for Peace and the Sarwar Foundation to transport nearly 3,000 pieces of cricket equipment to Islamabad, Pakistan.

The business has donated five pallets belly-hold capacity on a Boeing 787 flight to transport items such as cricket bats and balls, gloves, pads, helmets, other protective equipment and cricket. Following the recent flooding crisis, Pakistan is rebuilding not only its infrastructure but also human development.

The equipment will be delivered to schools affected by the flooding to assist the return to a sense of normality and children’s development.

This donation is in addition to IAG Cargo’s movement of 34 tonnes of emergency aid to Islamabad in October, which included medical equipment, non-perishable food, clothing and tents.
