Founder & CEO of Dyami Security Intelligence, we are here to help you with travel risk management, geopolitical insights, dedicated aviation risk services and espionage awareness. Also available for speaker engagements!
As we head into a weekend marked by escalating tensions in the #MiddleEast, most of our clients have fortunately been able to avoid or leave the region on available commercial flights. However, some remain due to operational requirements and are prepared to stay for an extended period. They are self-sufficient and ready to endure potential communication blackouts and limited access to medical facilities. Several countries have established evacuation plans for possible mass evacuations, deploying troops and resources to #Cyprus as a strategic location, while others lack such capabilities. My thoughts are with those who cannot leave, as they live there with their families and friends. Once again, they must endure a crisis and conflict between parties seeking confrontation. Aircraft operators, please be aware that flying in the greater region of #Lebanon, #Israel, #Iraq, #SaudiArabia, #Yemen, #Iran, and #Jordan comes with associated risks. It is crucial not to focus solely on avoiding the Lebanon/Israel area but to conduct a thorough risk assessment and choose operations wisely over the next 48 hours. Our team has witnessed a build-up of military hardware in the wider region, something you do not want to encounter, either targeted, by misidentification, or by other means. And we are not even talking about the risk due to GPS jamming/spoofing and critical infrastructure like airports that could be damaged. dyami | security intelligence | count on us
