Singapore Airlines
Due to the closure of Iranian airspace and the current situation resulting in a significant cargo backlog at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), Singapore Airlines is experiencing substantial offloads of Europe-bound cargo. As a temporary measure to manage this backlog, the airline has suspended new bookings for cargo destined for London Gatwick (LGW) and London Heathrow (LHR).
Additionally, an embargo is currently in place for certain cargo types on flights from SIN to Europe until further notice. These include:
- Dangerous Goods (DGs), including items without a Dangerous Goods Declaration (ELI, ELM, REQ, RRE, ICE).
- Live animals, including fish.
- All types of perishables (PER, PES, PEF, PEM).
- Pharmaceuticals (PIL).
Please be aware that these restrictions are specific to flights to Europe and do not apply to those terminating in other regions, including the Middle East and the Indian subcontinent.
Qatar Airways Cargo
To offset additional costs and risks arising from operating in Iran, Iraq and Lebanon, Qatar Airways Cargo will be introducing a temporary Insurance Premium for shipments to and from these countries with effect of 20 August 2024.
A charge of USD 0.20 or its equivalent in local currency per Kg based on chargeable weight will be applied to all products.
