Transit Embargo: current handling situation in Paris and Frankfurt

Due to COVID-19 related staff limitations, there are disruptions at the Lufthansa handling terminal in Frankfurt. The same developments are now occurring at Air France/ KLM and its hub in Paris. The following measures have therefore been taken:

As of Wednesday, January 26, 2022 Lufthansa Cargo has issued a transit embargo in Frankfurt. Air France/ KLM had to do the same for their hub in Paris (CDG). Additionally, Air France/ KLM canceled all flights from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Hong Kong until March 26, 2022.

  • Exemptions from the transit embargoes in FRA and CDG are to be made for BUP (Bulk Unitization Program), BXO (Emergency Solutions) and VAL (valuable cargo).
  • Freight that has already been accepted will be dispatched as soon as possible.
  • Freight that has not yet been delivered can unfortunately no longer be accepted.

DACHSER therefore refrains from booking and cargo planning of relevant transit shipments via Frankfurt and Paris for the Lufthansa and Air France / KLM network until further notice. Moreover Air France / KLM does no longer accept bookings of loose shipments with final destination Paris (CDG).

Transit shipments either have to be rerouted via other airlines and handling partners in the meantime or, owing to DACHSER’s integrated network capabilities, can be seamlessly connected from the Airfreight Gateway Frankfurt to the network of DACHSER Road Logistics for swift onforwarding all over Europe to their final destination.

By having linked the business fields DACHSER Road Logistics and DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics, DACHSER can not only provide integrated and efficient supply chain management solutions but also respond immediately to this very exceptional situation.

The developments at Lufthansa and Air France / KLM indicates indicate that further restrictions in operational handling might be temporarily expected in Frankfurt, Paris and other locations.

Local representatives at DACHSER will be happy to provide information about shipments and possible alternatives.

Latest update on DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics operations

With this update DACHSER would like to inform about the current DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics operations across the regions APAC, EMEA and Americas. In the attached document (see download below) it is listed whether a country organization of DACHSER is operational or, if only limited or not at all, why this is the case. Since the situation in the countries may change rapidly, the attached document will be updated on a regular basis and published on our website.

We sincerely regret any inconveniences caused to our customers due to the pandemic. At DACHSER, we have contingency measures in place and will offer our customers the best alternative solutions to keep the supply chain running. Anyhow, the situation at ports, airports or customs authorities might cause delays. Furthermore, the capacity situation on the global airfreight market is very tense as there are basically no passenger flights operating at the moment.

At the same time, DACHSER has installed strict hygiene measures (e.g. home office) to ensure a safe working environment and to do our part in stopping the spread of the virus. DACHSER is trying to keep the impact of these measures as low as possible, however, together with the official measures by the governments, the precautions may lead to some delays in the operations.

In case of any questions and/or queries, please feel free to contact your local DACHSER representative.
