AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Middle East Travel Risk: The US has resumed a naval blockade on Iranian ports and expanded air strikes, while Iran retaliated by targeting US-linked bases in Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan—raising fresh fears of Strait of Hormuz disruptions that can quickly ripple into flight and shipping plans for travellers in Bahrain. Airspace Advisory: EASA reissued guidance for airlines to avoid parts of the Gulf region, including Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and UAE areas, warning of missile/drone risks and rapid changes. Shipping Crackdown: US forces disabled an oil tanker trying to breach the blockade, and Strait traffic reportedly fell sharply—fueling broader travel uncertainty. Bahrain Visitor Planning: Al Fateh Grand Mosque shared a practical visitor guide (hours, modest dress rules, prayer pauses, and transport tips). Local Updates: Northern Municipality launched phase two to remove 12 unlicensed structures in Al Ramli, clearing sites along Sheikh Zayed Street for approved development. Travel Deals: British Airways extended Middle East travel flexibility by a week, allowing refunds or changes without a change fee for eligible routes.
