Adds Maserati also suspending deliveries in paragraph 4

ROME, March 19 (Reuters) - Italian luxury sports car makers Ferrari RACE.MI and Maserati said on Thursday they had temporarily suspended deliveries in the Middle East, as war rages in the region.

"We are closely monitoring the developments in the Middle East and the potential implications for our business," Ferrari said in a statement.

"At this stage, we have temporarily suspended deliveries in the area, while managing few deliveries via airplane," the company added.

Maserati, said it had also temporarily stopped shipments given the "very critical" transportation management situation in the Middle East.

The suspension will remain "pending improvement of the situation and the resumption of transport under conditions of total safety", it added.

The company, a premium brand within the Franco-Italian Stellantis STLAM.MI group, said it was considering alternative solutions to deliver its cars safely.
