Several Middle Eastern countries have closed their airspace, and there have been changes to these flights!
Recently, the situation in the Middle East has undergone a sudden change, with multiple countries including Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Israel, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates announcing the closure of their airspace. The three major international aviation hubs of Dubai, Doha, and Abu Dhabi have also suspended flights on a large scale. The global transcontinental routes have been forced to make large-scale detours, with flight cancellations, delays, cabin shortages, and rising freight rates becoming a foregone conclusion.
01 Airspace closure, how much impact does it have on shipments
1 flight cancelled extensively, resulting in a sharp decrease in capacity
The global air cargo capacity has significantly shrunk, and traditional Middle Eastern transit routes have almost come to a halt, resulting in a large backlog of goods and delayed warehouse clearance.
Two flight routes were forced to detour, resulting in a sharp increase in costs
Flight detours increase range and fuel consumption, causing airlines to generally raise prices. Air freight rates have increased by 15% -50%, and some routes have even doubled
3. Time out of control, delays become the norm
The transit time of the original Middle East transit routes has generally been extended by 3-7 days, and the risks of inspection, order modification, and container rejection have increased synchronously.
4. The price is opaque and there is an increase in hidden charges
The market quotation is chaotic, with frequent occurrences of low price solicitation and mid price markups, making shippers vulnerable.
Simply put, ordinary channels are unstable, small freight forwarders are unreliable, and random shipments are prone to pitfalls.
How to choose reliable cross-border logistics in the turbulent situation of 02?
A truly reliable logistics service provider must possess four major capabilities: "stable routes, transparent prices, professional customs clearance, and full process controllability", to maintain the bottom line of timeliness and cost in the changing situation.
01Stable route: advance layout, avoid risky airspace
Optimal selection of "direct flight+safe transit" combination routes, fully bypassing restricted airspace in the Middle East, ensuring normal takeoff and landing of flights, and avoiding delay and suspension risks from the source.
02Price stability: lock in price in advance, no hidden charges
Provide a clear itemized quotation, with fuel, security, and operating costs at a glance, without engaging in low price diversion or midway price increases, and can maintain price commitments even during peak seasons.
03Stable customs clearance: Professional team, fast customs clearance
Having a mature customs clearance team, we conduct pre screening of documents, advance declaration, and single ticket customs clearance to reduce inspection rates and avoid delays caused by customs clearance.
