Qatar: June update
On 5 June 2017, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Egypt severed tied with Qatar and required the closure of land, sea and air borders. Since then a number of other countries have also joined these states in adopting such measures. The reason for these measures is stated to be the belief that Qatar has been supporting extremist groups and has not complied with the Riyadh Agreement of 2014.
The implications
This crisis has had significant implications on transportation to and from the region. This has resulted in a period of uncertainty and disruption as land, air and sea transport links have been severed. Due to the air space restrictions, Qatar Airways has been unable to carry out its scheduled flights to the UAE and Saudi Arabia and will need to take longer routes for certain flights outside of the region. The Shipping industry is also facing an uncertain future with Qatar flagged and owned vessels being prohibited from entering ports across the region.

As the situation changes regularly, please refer back to this page where we will update you on anything new in the region and the subsequent legal implications. If you would like further information on the unfolding crisis and how this may affect your operations in the region please contact Rania Tadros, Managing Partner in Dubai.

Recent events have demonstrated yet again how crucial insurance is to all commercial operations, none more so than the Aviation, Aerospace and Space sectors. It is a sign of the current challenging geopolitical landscape that we expect certain market clauses will come under scrutiny again after many years without disputes.

Setting aside our aspersions on the manner in which domestic air travel was recommenced in India – by way of a tweet by the aviation minister catching the airlines unawares - the government’s decision to “control” the ticket prices, at least in the short term (3 months), is, I feel, a masterstroke.
