Daytime Air Shipping into Egypt

Posted on Tue, Feb 15, 2011

 

The situation in Egypt continues to be precarious.
     An embargo was imposed most of last week and the week before. It just got lifted but mostly for day-time flights. There is apparently no service permitted at night.
     Exports from Egypt have come to a standstill.
The few imports mostly on belly space are by and large medical and essential drugs.
     It looks as long as this status quo continues we may have an on/off situation.
     Some airports are sitting on backlogs.
     What should companies prepare for? Well, wait and see what happens and when things start to normalize, the first thing which is likely to take place is the influx of the much needed supplies and the clearance of back logs.
Not to forget the exportable items, which will need to move.

Since pack n send ships cargo and freight worldwide we try and provide our customers updated on shipping trends throughout the world. In most cases, the shipping disruptions are weather related. In this case, since Egyptian airports are now opening to air cargo during the day to incoming shipments, we felt it important to keep our international customers updated. The update above was prepared by Air  Cargo News. As shipping improves both to and from Egypt, pack n send will post updates on our bog.
