Is international mail still leaving the UK?

Post by C2019 »

I look on the international updates bulletin on the Royal Mail site but it doesn’t tell me too much in regards to if items are still leaving the country due to the UK not allowing flights to enter or leave thanks to Covid . I was wondering if mail was still leaving the country because I know they put mail on passenger flights at times. Specifically I have 2 parcels to send to Hong Kong from the UK but don’t want to post them and have them stuck in a distribution centre for weeks as apparently Hong Kong has stopped all flights from the UK currently according to other forums.
