FBOs at Al Dhafra Air Base OMAM DHF

City threat summary

Abu Dhabi currently operates under an elevated regional security environment, with multiple governments — including the United States, Australia, and Canada — advising travelers to reconsider or exercise a high degree of caution due to ongoing tensions stemming from armed conflict in the broader Middle East.

The U.S. State Department has designated Abu Dhabi a medium-threat location for terrorism, with transportation hubs, government facilities, and locations associated with Western and Israeli interests identified as potential targets; the Iranian regime has publicly stated intent to target UAE locations associated with the United States, and the threat of drone and missile activity remains active and unpredictable.

The FAA has issued cautionary advisories for flight operations in the region, and airport access and operational status may change with little or no warning.
