Due to the current international geopolitical context, particularly the situation in the Middle East, and the resulting high volatility of aviation fuel costs, we inform you that the Fuel Surcharge levels for air import and export quotes will be updated weekly based on jet fuel price trend.

With the aim of ensuring maximum transparency, the fuel surcharge adjustment will be based on the IATA index.

For Week 10, the Jet Fuel Price (Weekly Average) is $157.41 per barrel, representing an increase of 58.4% compared to the previous week.
 

Fluctuations in fuel costs are determined by external factors beyond our control, and the adjustment will remain in effect until the situation stabilizes, thus ensuring clear updates consistent with the market.

For any information, we remain at your disposal.

Update 27.03.2026

We inform you that the Emergency Fuel Surcharge will be equal to 12% for the period that goes from 1st to 15th April.

Update 12.03.2026

We inform you that the Emergency Fuel Surcharge will be equal to 10% for the period that goes from 16th to 31st March.

The critical nature of the current international socio-political scenario, in particular the situation in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, is also impacting land transportation for domestic routes to/from ports, airports, intermodal terminals, and logistics hubs, creating significant uncertainty.

Due to the continuous rise in oil prices and general instability, driven by factors beyond our control, domestic carriers for this service will, with immediate effect, apply the Emergency Fuel Surcharge in order to maintain the operational efficiency of land transportation services and respond to recent developments.

In the interest of maximum transparency, the surcharge for domestic routes related to sea, air, and rail services will be updated on a biweekly basis (every 15 days) based on official fuel price quotations.

Until March 15, the adjustment reflecting the impact of diesel costs on transportation expenses is +6%.

This procedure will remain in place until oil price quotations return to normal levels.

For further information, we are at complete disposal.

02.03.2026 Update

Following the recent escalation in the Middle East, widespread airspace closures and operational restrictions are significantly affecting both air and ocean freight flows.
The current situation is to be considered a force majeure event, beyond the carriers’ control.

1. Air Freight

The closure of airspace in Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Israel, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and parts of the United Arab Emirates is causing extensive flight cancellations and diversions.

The main Gulf airlines (Qatar Airways, Emirates, Etihad) have suspended bookings and operations, both inbound and outbound, from key hubs such as Dubai (DXB), Abu Dhabi (AUH), Doha (DOH) and Manama (BAH).
Other European, Asian and American carriers are also implementing cancellations and rerouting.

As a result, air cargo capacity between Europe, Asia, Oceania and Africa is severely reduced, with longer transit times, missed connections and limited space availability.

Expected operational impacts:

• Missed connections
• Longer transit times
• Backlogs on priority cargo
• Limited space availability with continuous re‑planning
• Inability to predict available cargo space
• Constantly evolving rates, with short or no prior notice

2. Ocean Freight

The escalation has also created significant disruptions on major maritime routes.

Main carriers have suspended transits through the Strait of Hormuz, rerouting vessels via the Cape of Good Hope.
Transit through the Suez Canal is also suspended, as well as bookings toward the Middle East.

Expected operational impacts:

• Indeterminate delays at ports in the affected area
• Transit time extensions of at least 7–13 days on Asia–Europe routes
• Reduced global capacity and increased volatility in freight rates

3. Rail Freight

No impact has been reported at this time.
 

Our teams are actively managing the situation to minimize delays, despite the sudden global loss of cargo capacity and the emergency context, which continues to evolve.
We recommend reviewing insurance coverage, considering the force majeure nature of the event and the expected increases in war‑risk, bunker, congestion fee, fuel and emergency surcharges.

We will continue to closely monitor developments and keep you updated.

01.03.2026

Due to the current context of tensions in the Middle East, significant airspace restrictions and numerous flight cancellations by major airlines are being reported.

In this extremely complex scenario, we are unable to guarantee regular departures or reliable transit times for air shipments.

Our teams are constantly monitoring the evolution of events together with our local partners and the airlines, in order to provide you with timely updates and identify the most suitable operational solutions for your needs.

We will keep you informed of any relevant changes.
