Overview

The situation in the Middle East after the beginning of the attacks remains extremely critical. We have observed several attacks involving drones, rockets, and missile systems along the Gulf coast. These weapon systems pose significant risks, including potential airspace closures or debris hazards. Furthermore, we must expect a further escalation at short notice, for example by other countries joining the military action against Iran.

Airspace restrictions remain in place across parts of the Middle East, including Iran, Israel, Iraq, Jordan and parts of the Gulf. Airlines continue to reroute, suspend or cancel services, often at short notice. There is still no confirmed timeline for full reopening in several affected areas.

Health and safety of our employees have always been a top priority for Krones.
For these reasons, we have set up strict travel restrictions for the Gulf region. Unless otherwise instructed everybody in the region must remain inside the hotels or shelters in place until further notice.
