Dear valued customer,
In the face of the challenges posed by the current global COVID-19 situation, R B Express is working to maintain a reliable delivery service for you and your customers. We are currently mobilizing our business continuity plans, monitoring and responding to rapidly changing local conditions. We are also making safety our top priority.
In order to ensure operational continuity and to keep connecting the world with a high-quality service, we will temporarily and until further notice levy an Emergency Situation Surcharge to all International Shipments.
WHY ARE WE CREATING THIS SURCHARGE?
You will all have seen in the news or experienced firsthand the dramatic impact the current COVID-19 situation is having on the global aviation industry, resulting in significant reductions or complete cancellation of passenger flights in most countries.
Our teams have been working around the clock to react and adjust our network, adapting it to reflect the changes in capacity and demand resulting from the global upheaval.The massive reduction in available commercial air cargo capacity and destinations has necessitated a switch to more indirect routing and the purchase of additional cargo aircraft lift, which is in high demand. These factors, among others, increase our costs during this period to unsustainable levels.
This Emergency Situation Surcharge will allow us to cover part of the operating cost increases and the necessary air network adjustments during the time of this emergency situation.
Please find below the mechanism of this surcharge
