On Saturday, 28 February 2026, we witnessed conflict involving the United States of America, Israel, and Iran. As a result, several airports have closed and numerous flights have been delayed, rerouted, or cancelled, affecting many travellers to and from South Africa.

As this is an ongoing developing event we urge policy holders and travel agents to keep in direct contact with the relevant airlines and authorities on contingency plans, the latest travel schedules and travel information.

We have suspended the issuing of new policies and cover to Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine with effect from 17 March 2022. All policies issued will be endorsed to exclude cover to these countries.

We will continue to monitor the situation and update the market accordingly. Our thoughts are with all those impacted by this conflict.
