We are closely monitoring developments in the Middle East and taking proactive steps to reduce any impact on your shipments. Ongoing airspace closures throughout the region are significantly affecting both passenger and cargo air operations. 

Due to recent airspace closures across parts of the Middle East, several couriers have suspended flights to and from many countries in the area. As a direct result of these closures, couriers have temporarily suspended or delayed pickup and delivery services. Shipments moving to and from these countries may experience extended transit times due to these disruptions within their network.

FedEx: Services to Bahrain are temporarily suspended. Services may be delayed to other countries in the area. 
DHL: Services to Bahrain are temporarily suspended. Services may be delayed to other countries in the area. 

Aramex: Services may be delayed by several business days. A temporary Emergency Situational Surcharge (TESS) will be applied to all international express shipments to the GCC.
