UPS says short-term disruptions to its shipping network are coming in the wake of the deadly crash of a cargo plane at the company’s global aviation hub this week. The shipping company says it has backup plans in place to keep deliveries moving, and supply chain experts say they believe the effect should ease before the busy holiday season.

The plane went down shortly after takeoff on Tuesday from UPS Worldport at Louisville Muhammad Ali International Airport. The flight was bound for Honolulu. At least 12 people were killed, according to officials.
