Despite growing concerns about possible shortages of aviation fuel, the DHL Group does not currently see any immediate impact on its business. "So far, the situation is manageable," the company said. Although stocks at individual locations are lower than usual, DHL does not currently anticipate any disruption to operations. Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk had previously reported on possible bottlenecks and rising prices.

The logistics group is continuously monitoring the global fuel supply and is in close contact with airports and suppliers. However, rising energy and fuel costs could be passed on to customers via surcharges, if contractually possible. This is common practice in the industry, it said.
