Easter schedule 2026 | Adjusted planning and accessibility

Whether it's road transport, groupage, LTL, FTL, warehousing, ocean freight, air freight or customs matters: proper preparation around holidays helps avoid delays and keep shipments running smoothly. Therefore, we recommend taking into account adjusted loading and unloading times, changed transit times and a possible earlier delivery deadline.

Why timely coordination around Easter is important

Holidays often affect the entire logistics chain. Not only the availability of drivers, terminals and warehouses plays a role in this, but also the opening hours of customers, suppliers, ferry connections, ports and customs services may vary.

Around Easter, we often see that:

• shipments must be notified earlier;

• capacity fills up faster on certain routes;

• transit times may shift;

• Loading and unloading locations will have modified opening hours;

• international transportation flows require additional coordination.

By planning ahead of time, we can work together to determine the most practical solution for your shipments during this period.

Easter Schedule 2026

In the overview below you will find our current Easter schedule with the most important information about availability, planning and any deviations around Easter.

What does this mean for your shipments?

We recommend paying extra attention to your logistics planning in the period before and after Easter. Especially with international distribution, time-critical shipments or transports with specific requirements, early coordination is important.

Consider:

Road transport within Europe

For groupage, LTL and FTL, pickup and delivery times may vary due to adjusted driving and rest periods, closed locations or limited availability in certain countries and regions.

Warehousing and handling

Adjusted cut-off times may apply for inbound and outbound goods flows within warehousing. For order picking, cross-docking and value added logistics it is also wise to coordinate in time.

Ocean freight and air freight

Within ocean freight and air freight, holidays can also impact documentation, handling and capacity availability. Especially for urgent shipments or connections to follow-up transport, good preparation is essential.

Customs and Documentation

With international shipments, it is important that documentation is provided in a complete and timely manner. Around holidays, processing times may be different than usual.
