TRANSIT times at a Hong Kong International Airport cargo terminal 'are likely to extend by two to three days' because of Covid quarantine rules, reports Washington, DC's Supply Chain Dive.
Hong Kong Air Cargo Terminals, (Hactl) staff will be reduced 25 per cent until the end of October, according to an update by Everstream Analytics.
A quarter of the hactl terminal's staff being sent home for quarantine will further stress the ground handling situation at China's airports, DB Schenker said in a customer advisory.
'In addition, major air cargo flights are either arriving or departing empty due to stringent Covid regulations which are impacting the turnaround times of the flights,' it said.
'Both import and export cargo are likely to be significantly delayed and congestion issues are likely to occur,' the update said.
Hactl said that a fully vaccinated employee 'tested positive' for Covid. The terminal added it is working to identify close contacts and that only employees who have tested negative will be allowed to return to work.
