EMIRATES SkyCargo has warned of potential payload constraints as a result of its aircraft taking on extra fuel due to the ongoing conflicts and geopolitical disruption being experienced in the Middle East.
The Dubai-headquartered cargo airline confirmed the measure and warned that it could impact the amount of cargo it can carry on flights leaving the city.
'Due to ongoing geopolitical instability in the region, additional fuel is being uplifted on flights departing from Dubai. This may result in payload constraints and shipment offloads,' the airline said in a statement.
The extra fuel uplift is not the only measure being adopted by emirates SkyCargo as a result of the Israel-Iran conflict.
'Due to ongoing geopolitical instability in the region, additional fuel is being uplifted on flights departing from Dubai. This may result in payload constraints and shipment. Like the majority of carriers, the airline also has an embargo in place covering Iran and Iraq.'
The carrier said its embargo on operations to Tehran, Baghdad, Erbil and Basra would remain in place until June 30 at the earliest.
Airline operations to the Middle East have been facing disruption since Israel and Iran began launching missiles against each other on June 13.
