Operational Impact Due to Middle East Situation

Ongoing military escalation in the Middle East is causing disruption to regional transportation services. Safety‑driven restrictions have been implemented in certain airspaces and sea routes, and shipments to, from, or transiting the affected region may experience delays or routing adjustments.

Air and ocean transport services are currently impacted as several countries have introduced airspace restrictions or closures, and multiple airlines have suspended or modified operations. In addition, the situation in and around the Strait of Hormuz is affecting maritime traffic, with shipping lines adjusting routings, delaying vessel movements, or applying alternative operational measures.

As a result, customers may experience:

•　Flight cancellations or rerouting

•　Reduced cargo capacity

•　Longer transit times

•　Delays to ocean shipments

•　Short‑notice schedule changes

•　Increased congestion across affected trade lanes

We are closely monitoring developments and coordinating with carriers and partners to minimize disruption wherever possible. Our teams are reviewing affected shipments, assessing feasible alternative routing options, and providing customers with updated operational guidance.

Customers with shipments to, from, or transiting the affected region are kindly requested to contact their local KWE representative for shipment‑specific support.

We will continue to provide timely updates as the situation evolves.

We sincerely appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
