Middle East & Gulf

Bottom line

Regional hostilities have widened exposure well beyond the traditional conflict states. Gulf countries face episodic missile and drone threat and airspace closures rather than ground risk, with the practical constraint being aviation continuity. The Levant remains the most constrained environment in the region, and there risk differs more within countries than between them.

Every axis on this page is somebody’s decision — whether the office opens, whether the convoy runs, when work stops and who answers at three in the morning — and that is the work: we turn this month’s operational risk into the thresholds, plans and cover your people rely on, and we stay on the line when they need them.
