Jordan: ABMC says it maintains steady passenger service maintained despite flight disruptions

AMMAN — Arab Bridge Maritime Company (ABMC) has said that it continues to provide 'safe and reliable' services for travellers on its Aqaba-Nuweiba maritime route, despite increased regional disruptions to air travel.
The Amman-based company said in a statement that it has maintained regular daily trips between Jordan and Egypt and recently added extra sailings to accommodate growing demand following the cancellation or postponement of many airline flights, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
ABMC General Manager Adnan Abadleh told the Jordan News Agency, Petra, that the company, which operates both the Aqaba-Nuweiba route, a two-and-a-half hour journey, and the shorter Aqaba-Taba tourist route, has become a vital link between the two countries during the current period of instability.
'In light of widespread flight cancellations and diversions due to the recent regional escalation, many travellers, particularly tourist groups, have been unable to complete their itineraries or return home,' Abadleh said. 'Arab Bridge has proven to be a safe and dependable alternative for reaching final destinations.'
He also said that passengers using ABMC services can continue their journeys to international destinations via Sharm el Sheikh and Cairo airports.
The company also said it is facilitating travel for Iraqi and Syrian passengers arriving from Egypt, whose flights to Baghdad and Damascus were cancelled, by enabling passage through the Nuweiba-Aqaba route, pending official approvals.
Abadleh said more than 10,000 passengers were transported over the past three days alone, underscoring the company's adherence to maritime safety protocols and its commitment to offering secure and accessible transport.
He added that travellers can book tickets either online or through ABMC offices in Jordan and Egypt, noting that the company offers competitive pricing, making sea travel a safe and economical alternative amid ongoing air travel uncertainty.

British Airways halts flights to Dubai and Doha

British Airways has paused flights to Dubai and Doha in light of escalating conflict in the region. It is one of several airlines worldwide that have suspended flights to the Middle East. The UK carrier said in a statement to The National:"All flights to Dubai and Doha scheduled to depart LHR [London Heathrow Airport] on June 22 and their subsequent return flights have been cancelled. Our teams continue to keep the situation under review." Hostilities continue in the region, with the US bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities in the early hours of June 22 and Israel's ongoing strikes on Gaza, as well as Israel and Iran trading attacks. "As a result of recent events, we have adjusted our flight schedule to ensure the safety of our customers and crew," the BA statement read. For passengers already booked on to affected flights, BA said it was working to reach all those affected. "We are contacting our customers to advise them of their options while we work through this developing situation." Passengers, it continued, will be offered a "flexible booking policy" regarding changing their dates of travel. "Those due to travel between now and June 24 can rebook on to a later flight up to and including July 6, free of charge, by contacting us by phone." On Sunday morning, a BA flight carrying 206 passengers from Chennai to London changed course less than an hour into its journey, after the US strikes on Iran. Elsewhere, Flightradar24 reported a second BA flight, which took off on Saturday evening, was rerouted to Zurich, Switzerland, while over Saudi Arabia. The airline has also halted all flights to Bahrain until the end of this month. It said the move to suspend the flights was made to 'ensure the safety of customers and crew' amid a rapidly changing and volatile scenario." Air Canada and United Airlines have also cancelled flights to Dubai, while American Airlines has paused flights to Doha.

UAE emerges as global leader amid rising geopolitical tensions, says expert

As global power dynamics evolve in unpredictable ways, the UAE is emerging as a model of resilience and opportunity in a rapidly transforming international environment. Experts in the UAE highlighted the country's 'nimble approach' to global disruption — fuelled by investment in knowledge, climate solutions, and cross-border partnerships — is positioning the UAE as a pivotal player in an era marked by volatility and competition. Amid escalating conflict and mounting tensions in the Middle East, Trevor McFarlane, Founder and CEO of Emerging Markets Intelligence & Research (EMIR), said, 'President Trump comes to power in this second term and he recognises that we are in this multi-unstable, multi-polar period… you have a geopolitical, geo-economic, technological, environmental, even from a sociological perspective, you have a 'volcano world'.' He made the statement while speaking at the 'News9 Global Summit UAE' on Thursday, June 19. McFarlane added, 'And this completely changes the chapter of where we're in (one that challenges conventional assumptions about stability).' Strategic alliances drive UAE's global relevance However, he reiterated that rather than retreating in the face of such uncertainty, the UAE is leaning into its global role with a future-ready strategy focused on innovation, sustainability, and smart diplomacy. The country's expanding partnership with India — one of the world's fastest-growing economies — is just one example of how it's turning disruption into opportunity. 'You have two countries, India and the UAE… there is a remarkable opportunity as a result of this… and you have a country like the UAE, which is admirably nimble,' McFarlane added. He emphasised that future global leadership will be shaped not only by geopolitical strength but also by advancements in areas such as artificial intelligence (AI) and decarbonisation. Meanwhile, as McFarlane emphasised on the UAE's global agility in the face of sweeping disruptions, another expert had similarly pointed out how this approach was mirrored in the country's evolving geopolitical alliances. Kristian Patrick Alexander, Lead Researcher at Rabdan Academy, in an earlier interview with Khaleej Times underlined the UAE's emphasis on regional cooperation and stability through practical, forward-thinking agreements. 'Trump prioritised (in his first term as President) bolstering ties with key allies like Saudi Arabia and the UAE, seeking to counterbalance Iranian influence in the region through a combination of sanctions, diplomatic pressure, and arms deals. His administration's hallmark achievement — the Abraham Accords — focused on fostering economic and security cooperation between Israel and several Arab nations, marking a shift toward a Middle East strategy rooted in coalition-building against common adversaries.' 'The UAE's commitment to innovation and security fits Trump's pragmatic approach, which values partnerships with nations willing to bolster regional stability and economic development,' he added. Specialists also noted that as the international system confronts increasing complexity, the UAE's blend of strategic foresight, innovation-driven policies, and global partnerships offers a roadmap for how nations can thrive — even in the most uncertain of times. From launching AI-powered government initiatives to hosting global sustainability forums, the UAE continues to invest in long-term relevance. 'The race for knowledge supremacy… AI would be one, decarbonisation and climate change would be the other,' McFarlane said. 'There will be parts of the world that will experience great instability… but the UAE's positioning gives it an edge.'
