Weekly Logistics Briefing Key logistics updates for the week
(Week 2 of June 2026)

A nationwide aviation sector strike is scheduled across Italy on June 13. EasyJet pilots and cabin crew, along with air traffic control, ground handling, and security personnel at certain airports, are expected to participate in strike actions. Operational disruptions are anticipated at Verona Airport, Milan Linate Airport, and Cagliari Airport. Flight cancellations and delays are likely on EasyJet domestic and intra-European routes, with possible knock-on delays caused by crew and aircraft rotation disruptions. Milan Malpensa Airport may experience delays in cargo loading and unloading, ULD handling, transshipment activities, and express cargo operations, with some impact also expected on Asia-Europe and Transatlantic-Europe air cargo connections. Protected operating periods will remain in effect, and nationwide airport closures are not expected.

A sudden storm and strong winds occurred in the T2 area of Delhi IGI Airport on the evening of June 7, 2026. Three Air India aircraft were damaged after colliding with ground support equipment displaced by the strong winds. The affected aircraft were temporarily removed from operations, reducing fleet availability. One aircraft requires repairs expected to take several days, while the other two are expected to return to service within the week. Air transport impact remains at a medium level, maritime impact remains minimal, and inland transport effects are limited to indirect impacts on airport-linked cargo operations.

Rough weather near the English Channel has delayed Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas return to Southampton. The vessel’s scheduled arrival at 06:00 on June 7, is expected to be delayed by approximately six hours, affecting turnaround operations. Adjustments are being made for passenger disembarkation from the Spain and Portugal itinerary and embarkation for the subsequent Hamburg and Zeebrugge itinerary. Passenger terminal arrival times, check-in schedules, and final boarding times have been revised. The impact is expected to remain largely limited to Southampton passenger and cruise logistics, while maritime cargo and inland transport connections are experiencing only indirect effects.

Large-scale flight disruptions occurred in the airport zones of Bogotá and Medellín, Colombia, on June 5.Due to airport congestion and operational disruption. During a 24-hour period, a total of 74 flight disruptions were reported, including 64 delays and 10 cancellations. Bogotá El Dorado Airport accounted for 59 delays and 5 cancellations, while Medellín José María Córdova Airport recorded 5 delays and 5 cancellations. Aviation-related risk is increasing, with a growing possibility of delays affecting inland trucking connections and airport-access logistics operations.

A dockworkers’ protest and solidarity action took place on June 3, 2026, following the arrival of the Israeli cruise ship Crown Iris at the Port of Piraeus. The dockworkers’ union and several groups called for a gathering at Gate E12, and heavily armed police were deployed at the site. Protesters chanted slogans, displayed a large Palestinian flag, and presented solidarity messages related to Gaza. The Crown Iris call at Piraeus, protest concentration near Gate E12, and police blockade measures were confirmed. However, no disruptions to container operations, ferry services, rail transport, customs activities, or any full-scale strike have been confirmed, and this status remains unchanged. Maritime impact is expected to remain low and localized to the passenger area, inland transport impact is limited, and aviation impact remains minimal.
