THE war between Israel and Hamas continues to have repercussions on air freight and express shipments to the region, reports London's Air Cargo News.
Many carriers and forwarders advise that services in the area may face cancellations and delays.
On October 10, UK forwarder Woodland International issued a warning on its website, noting that several airlines have suspended direct flights to and from Israel.
This decision aligns with the guidance of international aviation authorities, who have recommended avoiding the region's airspace.
Woodland also mentioned that most airlines no longer accept bookings on the affected routes and, in many cases, have completely halted their flight operations.
This situation has resulted in some shipments already in transit stuck until further notice.
Similarly, UK forwarder Kintetsu World Express issued a warning on October 11, indicating that it could not accept cargo to and from Israel.
This action comes as a response to the suspension of flights to and from Israel by carriers from Europe, the US and Asia.
Tel Aviv and Ramon airports remain open. 'As of now, KN TLV offices remain fully functional,' said Kuehne and Nagel.
'The logistics company added that 'while international airlines have temporarily suspended flights to and from Tel Aviv, it is worth noting that TLV airport remains open. We would like to highlight that El Al and Cal Airlines are still providing services, thus offering alternative transportation options for your cargo needs.
