The US Embassy in Bahrain has issued an advisory for travellers amid growing regional tensions. The embassy warned about the possibility of short-notice airspace closures, delayed and cancelled flights affecting travel.
The embassy said in its statement on Instagram:
The US Embassy in Bahrain continues to monitor the regional situation, and we encourage all travellers to review our most recent Security Alerts, and make appropriate decisions for themselves and their families. We note the possibility of short-notice airspace closures, delayed and cancelled flights, and other unanticipated travel impacts, and advise travellers to take these into account. At this time, US Embassy Bahrain staffing and operations are unchanged, and consular services continue as normal.
We advise all US citizens to maintain a personal safety plan. Crises can happen unexpectedly while travelling or living abroad, and a good plan helps you think through potential scenarios and determine in advance the best course of action.
