FCDO advises against all travel to Tigray region.
There is ongoing fighting between Ethiopian federal government forces and forces opposed to the federal government in northern Ethiopia. Tensions between Eritrea and Ethiopia are high and the security situation may change with little notice. Some flights are suspended and flights across northern Ethiopia may also be suspended or cancelled at short notice.
There have been some threats from armed groups against Alula Aba Nega Airport, Mekele.
If you are in the Tigray region, shelter in place. You should also:
- stay indoors where possible
- follow local restrictions, including curfews
- monitor local media for developments
- check with your airline for the latest information
- as soon as you judge it is safe to do so, leave the Tigray region using commercial means
