Heightened tensions across the Gulf region following reported US and Israeli strikes against Iran have led to security alerts, reported explosions, and significant disruption to air travel as of 28 February 2026. Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE have been impacted, with emerging reports indicating that airspace in Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE has been closed, resulting in widespread flight cancellations, rerouting, and delays across multiple regional hubs. Further operational disruptions are expected as the situation develops.
As a precaution, travelers are advised to defer all non-essential travel to the Middle East, with the exception of Egypt, Oman, and Turkey, until stability returns to the region. Clients with essential travel requirements should anticipate schedule changes and potential last-minute adjustments, as this remains a rapidly evolving situation.
