As we all know that Dubai has been tagged as the gateway of the region for all African, Asian, and Arabic markets, the transportation, and logistics sector has been well-known for continually invest in the development of all technology & infrastructure, as per UmarFarooq Zahoor. On the flip side, with the outbreak of the epidemic, most companies have faced challenges in the sector which involve capacity constraints of the supply chain, governmental restrictions, and much more. But what has been more interesting to see is that how all these players in the corporate sectors and small-scale businesses have got some way-outs to combat the present environment, while grabbing all the golden opportunities that have come up with this tough period.

Similar to that of every other player in the logistics industry, they need to navigate all the set of challenges that may come in the way of supply chain disruptions globally, delays, broken links, the constrained capacity of cargo, and delivery on time as the closed airports and borders are becoming some huge hurdles in this sector. But UmarFarooq Zahoor said that besides all the changes in this sector, the company needs to be agile to fulfill all world-level demand and resume all operations in the mid of this epidemic.

Sheikh Umar Farooq Zahoor said that as an international company, all the epidemic, as well as pandemic risks, are too vital for all of them and the company needs to be contingent with some continuous business plans in place. Also, the situation has marked some areas where the sector needs to do some re-work and some bans such as travel and restrictions are something that we cannot accept too rapidly at this time.

What comes out after this pandemic in the logistics industry is that how disturbances in the supply chains can cause some top-class issues to the supply of all crucial products and it needs some critical work that needs to be done. Umar said we need to do some critical work on supply chains and logistics to keep the operations on track and overcome all hurdles during this hard time.
