Service Impacts Continue for International Mail to Europe

The Postal Service is using all available airlift, rerouting mail through alternate airports and booking available ground transportation to move international mail in response to the ongoing closure of airports throughout Europe. Many international airports remain closed due to the plume of volcanic ash blanketing extensive areas of the continent. Retail employees at Post Offices and other locations are continuing to accept mail to all destinations in Europe, and are advising customers that service delays can be expected and guarantees for delivery have been suspended.
