ROME,— Italian luxury car makers Ferrari and Maserati have temporarily suspended deliveries in the Middle East as conflict in the region continues, the companies said Thursday.

Ferrari said in a statement that it is monitoring developments closely and assessing the potential impact on its business.

The company said a few deliveries are continuing by air, but most shipments have been paused.

Maserati, part of the Franco-Italian Stellantis group, said it also temporarily stopped shipments due to what it called “very critical” transportation management conditions in the Middle East.

The company added the suspension will remain in place until safe transport can resume. Maserati said it is exploring alternative solutions to deliver vehicles safely.

Ferrari and Maserati did not provide a timeline for resuming normal deliveries.

Both companies said they continue to monitor the situation closely, prioritizing safety for employees, customers, and transport partners.

The decision comes as the intensifying conflict has disrupted commerce across the region.

Luxury stores in Dubai and other shopping hubs have been forced to close or operate with minimal staff.

Luxury group Kering, which owns Gucci, temporarily closed stores in the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Qatar, and halted regional travel.
