Recent geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including the ongoing situation involving Israel, the United States, and Iran, are creating significant disruption across global air transport operations. Airspace restrictions, capacity constraints, and increased operating costs are adding pressure across affected trade lanes and making transportation conditions more volatile and less predictable across the air cargo industry.
Because these disruptions are impacting carrier operations and overall market conditions, airlines and logistics providers are being forced to respond quickly to changing costs and limited capacity. For Worldnet, this means introducing a temporary Market Adjustment Surcharge (MAS), effective April 10, on affected lanes. This surcharge is necessary to help ensure continuity of service and maintain the reliability our customers expect in the current environment.
Worldnet remains committed to transparency and to communicating surcharge updates as clearly and promptly as possible. The Market Adjustment Surcharge will be reviewed regularly and adjusted or withdrawn as conditions evolve. While these changes are driven by factors outside of our control, they are necessary to help preserve the global service, carrier capacity, and the transit options our customers depend on. We will continue to monitor developments closely and keep our customers informed as conditions change.
