We continue to closely monitor developments in the Middle East and are actively coordinating with our partners across all operations. The safety of our employees, the resilience of our operations, and the continuity of our customers’ supply chains remain our top priorities.

Impact on Air Transport

Airspace closures have led several airlines to suspend or divert services. As a result, customers may experience:

  • Longer transit times and schedule disruptions
  • Reduced capacity on key commercial routes
  • Fare fluctuations at short notice
  • Implementation or adjustment of war risk surcharges
  • Potential increases in fuel surcharges due to rising aviation fuel prices

Due to the dynamic nature of the situation, further schedule changes may occur at short notice.

Impact on Maritime Transport
The suspension of vessel transits through the Strait of Hormuz is affecting normal sailing schedules and may result in delays or diversions.

Shipping lines operating in the Persian Gulf are adjusting their operations to prioritize the safety of vessels and crew.

Land Transport and Contract Logistics
Road transport services remain operational; however, current conditions may cause delays in customs clearance and variability in transit times.
Contract Logistics facilities in the Gulf region continue to operate with enhanced business continuity measures.

Airpharm’s Response
Airpharm teams are in constant contact with carriers and strategic partners to:

  • Preserve allocated capacity whenever possible
  • Implement alternative routing solutions
  • Provide up-to-date information on rates and surcharges
  • Ensure continuity on critical trade routes

Customers with shipments to or from the region are advised to contact their local Airpharm representative for specific guidance on their shipments, or write directly to contacto@airpharm.com.

We will continue to share updates as the situation evolves.
