Advisory profile updated 22d ago
Active elevated advisory across the Levant and Gulf approaches. Gulf hub operations continue, but routes through this airspace carry meaningful disruption risk. This zone is materially more pressured than pre-2024 conditions.
Regional conflict in Gaza and Lebanon, combined with periodic Iranian airspace interventions, has elevated advisory status for the entire zone. Gulf carriers (Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad) continue operating but have made routing adjustments. UK FCDO, US State Dept, and EU advisories all flag this region for heightened monitoring. Airlines overflying Iraqi or Iranian airspace to reach the Gulf carry sector-specific risk that is distinct from Gulf hub risk.
