Security firm Solace Global’s 30 June Gulf Situation Report confirms that, despite drone and missile exchanges between Iran and the United States on 26-28 June, the airspaces of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and the UAE remain open. The analysis warns of a “high risk of tactical miscalculation” in the Strait of Hormuz but assesses that recent strikes were calibrated to stay below the threshold that would trigger fresh airspace closures like those seen in March. For mobility managers, the update provides reassurance that flights to and from Dubai and Abu Dhabi continue on schedule, though contingency routings via Cairo or Istanbul should remain in corporate travel playbooks.

VisaHQ can also remove one more variable from the travel-risk equation: its specialists fast-track UAE and other Gulf visas for corporate travellers, offering digital applications, document checks and live tracking through a single dashboard—details are available at https://www.visahq.com/united-arab-emirates/
Travel-risk teams are advised to brief travellers on possible last-minute schedule changes, monitor NOTAMs and maintain 24/7 tracking of personnel transiting the region. Companies with marine operations should also review guidance on AIS dark-ship periods and ensure that charter contracts include wartime risk clauses. Airlines have so far maintained confidence: Emirates reported a 93 per cent load factor on long-haul sectors over the Eid break, and Etihad has kept its North-America frequencies intact. Nevertheless, Solace notes that an unplanned escalation could see insurers impose war-risk premiums, raising ticket prices and freight costs.
