DSV, as well as Maersk and MSC, have all provided such updates, and all have stated that their staff are currently safe and accounted for.
When it comes to air freight, DSV have said Ben Gurion International Airport (TLV) has resumed operations after flights were paused in the afternoon on 7 October.
The Danish company adds that the only airlines operating to full capacity are Israeli carriers El Al Israel Airlines, Challenge Airlines IL and Arkia Israeli Airlines. Most international carriers have cancelled their flights, with the exception of Turkish Airlines, TAROM, Ethiopian Airlines, European Air Transport, British Airways and Hainan Airlines. This may change over time.
DSV also confirmed that its warehouses at the TLV airport are operational and fully staffed, but these are also subject to the Home Front Command and their instructions, so should the situation deteriorate, the operational hours of the warehouses may change.
Maersk says that port operations across Israel’s major terminals are continuing to function normally and that it is currently not expecting a substantial impact at our key hubs in Ashdod and Haifa. Moreover, Maersk states that Inland services – both road and rail – are fully operational in and around Israel.
Yesterday, MSC said it was continuing to deliver cargo to and from Israel as the major terminals are still operational. The shipping company’s offices have been closed due to the conflict, but staff are still working remotely.
Meanwhile, both FedEx and UPS have suspended flights to Israel.
