As economic sanctions on Russia affect the operation of aircraft around the world, Japan Post will stop accepting EMS = Express Mail Service addressed to the United Kingdom, Germany, France, etc., and new international mail using aircraft. Announced.
Over the situation in Ukraine, European countries have banned Russian aircraft from flying in their own airspace as a sanction against Russia, and in retaliation Russia has also made flights in the airspace to European airlines. It is affecting the operation of aircraft around the world, such as restrictions.
For this reason, Japan Post announced on the 8th that it will stop accepting new EMS = Express Mail Service, mainly for Europe, and international mail using aircraft, saying that it will not be able to secure sufficient transportation capacity.
A total of 18 countries and regions, including the United Kingdom, Germany, Finland, France, Belgium and Tunisia, are subject to suspension.
Even where the destination country or region can accept, there is a risk of delay due to reduced flights.
On the other hand, we continue to accept mail by ship.
