AIR freight disruptions are expected to continue until late June due to the grounding of Asia Pacific Airlines, the Marshall Islands' main cargo carrier, reports Montreal's Crisis24.
The US Federal Aviation Administration suspended the airline in early February, citing concerns over the pilot qualifications.
This has resulted in the disruption of the delivery of critical items such as medical supplies and mail. The ongoing suspension has led to a state of emergency being declared since March 17, further exacerbating the situation.
The continued suspension is likely to cause more air freight and supply chain disruptions leading to shortages of essential commodities in the coming weeks. Delivery delays may also continue after the suspension as the airline addresses backlogs.
