Dubai
Flight activity is increasing, though all airline bookings require approval from the local office. Short‑notice shutdowns at DXB and DWC continue to occur due to drone and missile incidents, causing intermittent disruption. Operations are improving overall, though backlogs are likely to remain.
Abu Dhabi
Airline operations remain very limited, with frequent cancellations.
Doha
Doha airspace remains closed. Only freighters avoiding Qatari airspace are operating.
Israel
TLV continues to operate only a small number of repatriation flights, which are not open for freight. No reliable freight solutions are currently possible.
Saudi Arabia
Operations are largely normal, but rates have risen significantly due to limited capacity and high fuel prices.
Due to the current situation, we are experiencing increased fuel costs and surcharges from certain airlines, routes and transport providers. We are working closely with our suppliers to monitor these developments and are actively mitigating any potential cost increases wherever possible. Our priority remains to maintain the highest standards of care, dedication and expertise, whilst our teams continue to safeguard your materials and secure alternative routes wherever possible.
For any questions or to explore the most suitable options for your shipments, please contact your local Biocair office. Our team is ready to assist you.
