Over **Saturday, 28 February 2026** and **Sunday, 1 March 2026**, the [security environment in the Middle East](https://info.oceania.kln.com/konnect/konnect-march-2026) escalated rapidly following reported military strikes and subsequent retaliation. As the situation intensified, several governments across the region moved to **close or restrict airspace**, triggering immediate flight cancellations and reroutes. This has also increased risk and uncertainty across key maritime corridors, including the **Strait of Hormuz**, resulting in heightened schedule volatility across both air and ocean networks.
In light of the current security situation in the Middle East, KLN has taken the precautionary step of temporarily suspending operations across affected areas to safeguard our people, partners, and cargo.
At this time, the majority of GCC airspace remains closed, and seaport activity in the Gulf of Hormuz is suspended. As a result, air and sea freight services to and from the region are experiencing significant disruption. The situation remains dynamic and may change at short notice.
Our Middle East team is closely monitoring developments around the clock and working in coordination with local authorities, carriers, and partners to evaluate safe and practical alternatives wherever possible. We are proactively reviewing all impacted shipments, assessing contingency routing options, and preparing recovery plans to enable swift action as soon as conditions permit.
We are committed to maintaining transparent and proactive communication throughout this period. You will receive regular updates from us as the situation evolves, and our teams will reach out directly regarding any shipments requiring specific action or alternative arrangements. Your usual KLN contact remains fully available to support you at any time.
We value the trust you place in KLN and remain firmly committed to protecting your supply chain, minimising disruption wherever possible, and supporting your business with clarity, responsiveness, and care.
## Update - March 5, 2026

## Update - March 3, 2026
We wish to advise of **ongoing widespread protests across Pakistan**, following the reported death of Ayatollah Al Khamenei. Violent clashes have been reported in several cities, with major roads blocked and transportation severely disrupted.
While **all airports and seaports in Pakistan remain operational**, the unrest is causing significant delays in landside transport and cargo movement.
### Air Freight Impact – Pakistan
Several Middle Eastern hub carriers have **suspended flight operations to/from Pakistan until further notice**, including:
- EY (Etihad Airways)
- QR (Qatar Airways)
- EK (Emirates)
- FZ (FlyDubai)
- GF (Gulf Air)
- G9 (Air Arabia)
- KU (Kuwait Airways)
- RX
Currently, the following carriers remain operational:
- SV (Saudia)
- TK (Turkish Airlines)
- TG (Thai Airways)
- PK (Pakistan International Airlines)
However, available capacity is significantly reduced (estimated at **20–30% of normal levels**), and **rates have increased across all operating airlines**.
In parallel, several Middle Eastern hub carriers have also suspended operations to/from **Dhaka, Bangladesh**, including:
- EY, QR, EK, FZ, GF, J9, OV, G9, KU, BG, BS
Additional impacts:
- MH and UL are **not accepting new bookings ex-DAC** due to payload restrictions and overbooking.
- SQ has implemented **substantial rate increases** and is facing payload constraints via SIN (Routing: DAC–SIN–All Destinations).
- 6E is operating limited services with revised higher rates on the following routes:
- **Online:** MAN, AMS, LHR, MAA, DEL
- **Interline:** JFK, LAX
- Routing: DAC–DEL/BOM–All Destinations
### Expected Impact
Customers should anticipate:
- Reduced air freight capacity
- Increased freight rates
- Extended transit times
- Potential shipment rollovers
- Landside transport delays within Pakistan
### OCEAN FREIGHT
CMA CGM has decided to suspend all bookings with immediate effect and until further notice for ports of loading / ports of discharge located in the following countries:
\- Bahrain (all ports)
\- Kuwait (all ports)
\- Qatar (all ports)
\- United Arab Emirates (all ports except Fujairah and Khor Fakkan)
\- Saudi Arabia (all ports except Jeddah, King Abdallah Port, Yanbu, NEOM)
\- Iraq (port of Umm Qasr)
We are closely monitoring the evolving situation in both countries and will provide further updates as developments occur.
## Update - March 2, 2026
### AVIATION & AIR CARGO – Severe, ongoing disruption
The Middle East is one of the world’s most important aviation crossroads linking Asia, Europe, Africa and Oceania. With broad airspace restrictions and key hub interruptions, the impact is rippling well beyond the region—tightening air cargo capacity and reducing schedule reliability globally.
Current situation
- Airspace across several Middle East corridors has been closed or heavily restricted, forcing widespread cancellations and long reroutes.
- Major hub airports including **Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha** have faced shutdowns/disruptions, displacing aircraft and crews and making recovery more complex even after airspace reopens.
Airline updates
- **Qantas Freight (Published 2 March 2026):** Qantas Freight does not operate scheduled freighter services to/from the Middle East and reports **no current impact to Qantas-operated flights**. Any passenger network impacts (including Europe) are being communicated separately.
- **Other carriers:** multiple international airlines have cancelled or rerouted services due to reduced safe overflight corridors—directly constraining global uplift.
Air cargo implications
With Gulf hubs constrained, available uplift drops sharply. Longer routings also mean higher operating costs—typically translating into capacity tightness, longer transit times, and upward rate pressure in the short term.
### OCEAN FREIGHT – Chokepoint risk and emergency carrier measures
Escalated security risk is affecting maritime traffic through key chokepoints, particularly the **Strait of Hormuz** and knock-on effects across broader Middle East routings (including Red Sea network impacts). Major container lines have implemented emergency operational measures.
### Carrier updates
**MSC**
- Instructed vessels in/heading to the Gulf to proceed to safe shelter areas and has suspended bookings for worldwide cargo to the Middle East until further notice.
**CMA CGM**
- **Emergency Conflict Surcharge (effective 2 March 2026, until further notice):**
- **USD 2,000** per **20’ dry** | **USD 3,000** per **40’ dry** | **USD 4,000** per **reefer / special equipment**
- Applies for cargo **from/to**: Iraq, Bahrain, Kuwait, Yemen, Qatar, Oman, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Egypt (Ain Sokhna), Djibouti, Sudan, Eritrea (and per CMA notice scope wording).
- Applies to bookings issued on/after **2 March 2026**, including cargo not yet shipped and cargo already afloat (per notice conditions).
- **Suspension of reefer bookings (immediate, until further notice):** Stop all reefer bookings from/to the same listed countries due to operational/security constraints and equipment positioning/cargo integrity concerns.
**Hapag-Lloyd**
- **War Risk Surcharge (effective 2 March 2026, until further notice):**
- **USD 1,500 per TEU** (standard)
- **USD 3,500 per container** (reefer + special equipment)
- Applies to cargo to/from the **Upper Gulf / Arabian Gulf / Persian Gulf**, including cargo already on the water but not yet discharged/loaded (per notice conditions).
**Maersk / wider network**
- Network adjustments and diversions are underway, including re-routing away from higher-risk corridors (with some services shifting via the Cape of Good Hope), creating schedule volatility and equipment imbalance risk.
### Operational observations
Expect holding patterns, diversions and “bunching” effects: missed berths, rolled bookings, and recovery delays that can linger even after restrictions ease. Alternative discharge patterns may emerge as networks rebalance, with flow-on congestion shifting across hubs and feeder networks.
### Guidance to customers
We recommend contacting airlines, shipping lines and logistics providers directly for **shipment-specific updates** (cancellations, reroutings, surcharges, revised transit times). Prepare for delays, capacity constraints and rate volatility across both air and sea freight, and monitor contractual terms closely (force majeure, war risk, surcharge provisions).
\--------------------
## What’s happening now
**Air freight:**
- Multiple Middle East airspaces have been **closed or heavily restricted**, forcing flight cancellations and long reroutes. This reduces effective uplift (capacity), increases missed connections, and extends transit times—especially for cargo relying on Gulf hub connectivity.
**Ocean freight (Strait of Hormuz / Persian Gulf):**
- War-risk conditions have increased sharply. Several operators have **paused or suspended transits** through the Strait of Hormuz, and vessel holding patterns have been reported around the chokepoint.
**Ports and terminals:**
- Operational conditions can vary by location and can change with little notice. Some ports/terminals have reportedly **constrained or suspended activity** as security risks rise, adding delay risk beyond the chokepoint itself.
**Official maritime risk posture:**
- The U.S. has issued active maritime advisories for the **Strait of Hormuz / Persian Gulf / Gulf of Oman / Arabian Sea** region citing military operations and the potential for retaliatory strikes.
## Expected supply chain impacts
- **Immediate airfreight disruption:** tighter capacity, longer routings, rebooking queues, and possible prioritisation of passenger recovery over cargo on some routes.
- **Ocean reliability shock:** missed berths, rolled bookings, bunching, and recovery delays that can persist even after conditions stabilise.
- **Cost volatility:** upward pressure from war-risk insurance, contingency surcharges, and higher exposure to storage/demurrage where cargo is held awaiting onward movement.
If restrictions persist, the market typically shifts into a “disruption pricing” environment: constrained capacity, lower schedule integrity, and more exceptions management. Even once conditions stabilise, recovery can take **weeks** as carriers unwind backlogs and reposition assets.
## What shippers can do now
- **Prioritise shipments:** identify must-move SKUs and deadlines; confirm escalation paths for time-critical cargo.
- **Pre-approve alternates:** agree contingency routings/gateways now (so decisions aren’t delayed during fast-changing conditions).
- **Protect customer promises:** add buffer to ETAs; align sales/installation calendars to more realistic lead times.
- **Manage cost exposure early:** request visibility on potential dwell points, storage triggers, and insurance implications.
## Our operational approach
Given the fluid risk environment, we are actively monitoring developments and working with carriers and local partners to evaluate safe and practical alternatives. We are reviewing impacted shipments, assessing contingency routing options, and preparing recovery plans so we can move quickly as conditions permit.
We will continue to provide updates as the situation evolves, and we will contact you directly where specific action or alternate arrangements are required.
