“Once you’re 30 minutes outside of the city center, your risk drops by over 90%.”
As travelers and business personnel across the Middle East sought ways to leave the region amid escalating conflict and widespread airspace closures, Global Guardian CEO Dale Buckner joined NBC News’ Now with Tom Llamas to discuss how private evacuation operations are helping people move out of affected areas.
Buckner explained that successful evacuations depend on careful journey management—moving clients out of city centers, coordinating ground transport to border crossings and securing onward flights as conditions evolve.
