The other carriers have said they are not flying here if that’s the only option. Air Freight corridors do need to remain open and QR/EK/SQ/CX are lifting huge volumes in and out at the moment underneath.
We can’t forgo air freight. UPS/DHL/Fedex are stretched at the moment.
Most are pretty full outbound currently. CZ are filling a 380 out of a Melbourne daily.
