Cathay Pacific Cargo says freight has been cancelled and warehouses at Shanghai Pudong International Airport are overflowing with outbound cargo.
Labour shortage expected at airport as staff are required to work 14 days, then quarantine for 14 days, even with a negative coronavirus test, according to SEKO Logistics.
Delays in deliveries and goods shipments through China’s largest cargo airport are mounting as new coronavirus infections have cancelled flights and disrupted the customs-clearance process, resulting in higher air freight prices and more strain on recovering supply chains, according to airlines and logistics providers.
Mixed messages about cargo operations have also raised questions about the extent of the delays, as authorities at Shanghai Pudong International Airport have not provided details about cargo suspensions but are said to have notified logistics providers, airlines and traders directly through online social media notices.
