Due to the Filomena storm that has affected all Spain in recent days and especially the Community of Madrid, we inform you of the following restrictions:
Road Transport:
- Traffic restrictions for heavy vehicles imposed by the DGT (partially open on some roads).
- Restrictions on access to industrial estates due to accumulation of snow and vehicles.
- Difficulty in collections, deliveries and shipments to other delegations. Journeys to and from Madrid may suffer significant delays.
- Difficulties in distribution activities throughout the week, mainly in the branch in Madrid.
- Temporary reduction of long-distance routes between delegations.
Air Transport
- MAD airport starts operating slowly but suffers long delays due to canceled flights.
- Handling personnel are severely restricted and therefore air cargo operations start to run very slowly.
- Customs operations are giving priority to express shipments.
- Road access to and from Madrid suffer significant restrictions.
- During this week, the alert is still active due to very low temperatures (in some places below -10ºC), so we still expect strong restrictions and incidents in all transport and distribution services.
If you have any questions, please contact your local contact at the respective DACHSER branch.
