AQC 133 – Delivery Update
Royal Mail announced yesterday that deliveries to Europe have been suspended temporarily:
Following the announcement from the French government to restrict air, road, ferry and train travel from the UK to France from 24:00 December 20 for 48 hours, Royal Mail has temporarily suspended services to Europe other than to the Republic of Ireland. This is a rapidly moving situation and our distribution agents are monitoring the position constantly. They are working to keep as many international mail services running as is possible given the current restrictions around air, road, ferry and train movements. Items already in transit will be processed. Items ready for dispatch will be held temporarily until mail services resume and they are able to reach the relevant destinations. Delays are also occurring to international destinations outside Europe as air capacity has become limited as a result of flight restrictions. Normal distribution services will recommence as soon as possible once restrictions have been lifted.
