GROUND handler dnata is instituting a two-day embargo on import shipments at its dubai facilities to address backlogs resulting from a surge in demand, reports London's Air Cargo News.
Dnata reported processing 76,000 tonnes of cargo at Dubai International and Dubai World Central in January, marking a significant 45 per cent year-on-year rise.
This surge was particularly evident in imports of general cargo, including fast-moving consumer goods, electronics, and fashion accessories.
Concurrently, the company has been implementing a systems cutover.
'Amidst this massive surge in volume and ongoing system cutover recovery efforts, we're currently facing a backlog at our terminals. To expedite the recovery process and restore normal operations, we're implementing a temporary embargo on import loads of cargo,' said dnata.
'We understand the inconvenience this may cause and apologize for any disruptions to our customers' operations.'
'We appreciate our customers' understanding and cooperation during this time. We remain committed to delivering efficient and reliable services as we work to resolve the situation,' said Dnata.
'This growth underscores Dubai's increasing popularity as a preferred route for cargo transportation, leveraging its robust infrastructure and global connectivity. Additionally, the evolving geopolitical landscape has also contributed to substantially increased demand for our services.'
