Immediate Response
Iranian retaliation following joint US and Israeli airstrikes inside Iran has involved sustained ballistic missile, cruise missile, and one-way attack unmanned aerial vehicle (OWA-UAV) strikes across the Middle East since 28 February 2026.
Attacks on US military and diplomatic missions have been observed in Iraq, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan. The dual-purpose civilian and military port of Duqm in Oman has also been repeatedly hit by UAVs.
Whether you are based in Israel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain or Jordan, our evacuation services provide clear, discreet and well-managed departure support.
To support planning, we are updating our Middle East travel advice daily with guidance from our intelligence team on airspace openings and closures, flight operations, and escalating risks impacting movement.
Due to the evolving security situation across the region, airport operations and Middle East airspace access remain highly volatile. Governments may impose airspace closures, flight suspensions, or airport operating restrictions with little or no notice, meaning flight availability can change rapidly.
Based on the latest operational assessments, several airports in the region continue to support limited commercial flights, charter operations, and contingency evacuation movements.
However, travellers should be aware that Middle East airport status can change quickly due to military activity, airspace closures, aviation safety measures, or government directives. Public flight schedules may not accurately reflect real-time operational conditions.

Support may include:
All routes are reassessed in real time, particularly in areas experiencing heightened tension or transport disruption.
Every evacuation across the Middle East is supported by continuous oversight from our Global Security Operations Centre (GSOC).
Operating around the clock, our team monitors developments across Israel and the Gulf states, including airspace status, airport operations, border crossings and wider security conditions. This enables us to adjust routes, departure timings and transport arrangements as circumstances evolve.
During active evacuations, GSOC maintains direct coordination with drivers, aviation partners and on-the-ground personnel, providing real-time updates and structured decision support throughout the movement process. From transport disruption to sudden airspace restrictions, oversight remains constant until safe arrival is confirmed.
Yes. Before travelling to any border crossing, you should confirm the visa requirements for the country you intend to enter, based on your nationality and residency status.
Some travellers may qualify for visa-on-arrival or eVisa, while others must obtain a visa in advance. Entry requirements can change quickly during periods of instability, so the most reliable information should always be obtained through official government immigration or consular websites.
Yes. Many travellers are turned back at borders due to expired or invalid visas.
Before departing for a border crossing you should confirm:
Your visa or eVisa is still valid
The visa allows entry through land borders (some only allow airport entry)
Your passport meets validity requirements (often 6 months remaining)
If your visa will expire during transit or shortly after arrival, you should arrange a new visa before departing.
Travellers should carry both physical and digital copies of key travel documents.
Essential documents include:
Passport (ensure validity requirements are met)
Residence permit or national ID (if applicable)
Visa approval printout (if travelling with an eVisa)
Accommodation details on arrival
Evidence of onward or return travel
Yes. Travellers should secure accommodation or a confirmed address in the destination country before travelling.
Border officials may ask for proof of accommodation or onward travel, particularly when large numbers of foreign nationals are attempting to leave a country during a crisis.
Having accommodation arranged also provides a fallback location if flights or onward travel are delayed.
No. Border crossings may:
Operate at reduced capacity
Experience significant delays
Close with little notice during periods of escalation
Travellers should expect long processing times and unpredictable operating hours during crisis situations.
Yes. Solace Global Risk provides 24/7 security assistance, evacuation planning, secure transportation, and crisis coordination through our Global Security Operations Centre and network of global security teams. We assess the situation and plan the safest available route to move you and your people to safety, arranging secure ground transportation from your residence or hotel to a border crossing or evacuation point, with support for onward travel where required.
We coordinate emergency evacuation and secure transportation across Israel, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan. Support may include movement to operational airports, cross-border relocation or onward international travel.
Support may include secure ground transport, airport facilitation, commercial flight coordination, charter flight arrangements and cross-border evacuation where required. The appropriate solution depends on current security conditions and available routes.
Timelines depend on airspace access, airport operations, border status and local security conditions. Our team assesses available options immediately and outlines practical next steps without delay.
If commercial flights are suspended, we review alternative airports, charter options and approved land corridors, including cross-border routes. All options are assessed against current entry and exit requirements.
