Likely you are all aware of the upcoming Paris Olympics and Paris Paralympics.

Olympics 26th July – 11th August 2024

Paralympics 28th August – 8th September 2024

As is the case for all Olympics Games Host Countries, the games will bring some challenges for local transportation due to restrictions, altered traffic conditions, road closures, congestion and additional security checks etc. If you have shipments coming to or from France during this time, please be aware you may be impacted with delays. Particularly for air shipments as airports will be extremely busy with passengers and baggage which always take priority over cargo.

In particular these post codes may be very difficult to access from the coming weeks until the end of the events, Postal codes 75, 77, 78, 91, 92, 93, 94, and 95

Please be aware that France generally is in a heightened state of alert to protect against any security threats.
