Aviation Safety Update: EU Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has extended its conflict-zone advisory for airlines until July 3, urging carriers to avoid Iranian, Iraqi and Lebanese airspace and to stay cautious when flying over Bahrain, Kuwait, Israel, Jordan, Qatar, Oman, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, even as risk levels ease. US-Iran De-escalation for Travellers: The US and Iran have agreed to stand down from attacks and resume technical talks on the Strait of Hormuz, with officials saying vessels can move freely while negotiations continue in Qatar—good news for shipping and regional travel planning, but the truce remains fragile. Bahrain in the Spotlight: Iran’s Revolutionary Guard claimed drone and missile attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait after US strikes, while Bahrain said a residential building near the airport was damaged with no casualties reported. New Route for Bahrain: Low-cost carrier AirAsia X plans to launch a London Gatwick–Bahrain–Kuala Lumpur service later this year (postponed to at least August due to regional conflict), adding fresh budget connectivity for Bahrain-bound holidaymakers. Travel Disruption Watch: With the Hormuz standoff still driving uncertainty, airlines and governments continue adjusting Middle East route schedules and travel advisories.
