The air cargo sector has been the hardest hit with the closure of airspace causing disruption across the region

The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has brought severe disruptions to the air cargo sector.
The closure of airspace due to escalating tensions has forced major airlines to halt services to countries like Israel and Lebanon. European airlines, in particular, have suspended flights to Israel following advisories from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). This airspace closure affects not only Israel but also surrounding nations, delaying vital humanitarian supplies and commercial exports.

The maritime sector is also facing challenges. As attacks in the Red Sea and near the Suez Canal escalate, shipping companies are diverting their routes around the Cape of Good Hope, leading to longer transit times and higher operational costs. Ports in Saudi Arabia and Egypt are seeing the impact of these disruptions, with critical revenue losses in the Suez Canal tolls already amounting to billions.

With tensions remaining high, the logistics industry in the region is bracing for further challenges as airlines and shipping companies continue to adapt to changing conditions.
