| United Arab Emirates - Heavy Fog May Impact Travel Nationwide</h3></a> |
| <div style="border-bottom: dotted 1px #ccc; margin-bottom:10px; padding-bottom:10px;">Heavy fog is forecast across the UAE from approximately Oct. 12-Oct. 16, particularly in coastal areas. Increased numbers of traffic |
| accidents are likely. Expect gridlock due to fog and accidents, especially along the Sheikh Zayed road between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. |
| Flight delays and even airport closures are possible. Airports that may be affected include Abu Dhabi International Airport and Dubai International Airport.</div> |

| United Kingdom - Heavy Rains Forecast to Disrupt Travel</h3></a> |
| <div style="border-bottom: dotted 1px #ccc; margin-bottom:10px; padding-bottom:10px;">The UK Met Office is forecasting a severe weather front bringing |
| heavy rains across the country Oct. 11-13; the heaviest rain is |
| predicted for northeast Scotland. The storm has the potential to dump the equivalent of a month's worth of rainfall over a 24-48 hour period, totaling as much as 3.15 inches in certain areas. Disruptions in maritime, rail, port, and road travel are likely, as well as property damage and power outages. Sporadic localized flooding, including ponding on roads and motorways, is possible as the rains will be persistent. Expect poor driving conditions; debris or flooding could block roads.</div> |

| India - Kingfisher Airlines Unlikely to Resume Operations on Oct. 13</h3></a> |
| <div style="border-bottom: dotted 1px #ccc; margin-bottom:10px; padding-bottom:10px;">India's aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), has instructed Kingfisher Airlines to stop selling tickets until concerns over the cash-strapped carrier's revival plan are resolved. The DGCA directive came Oct. 9 after Kingfisher had resumed booking reservations for flights departing Oct. 13 or later. The airline's management proposed to end its lockout effective Oct. 12. It appears unlikely that Kingfisher would be able to resume its operations before Oct. 20.</div> |

| Italy - Rail Strike Oct. 13-14</h3></a> |
| <div style="border-bottom: dotted 1px #ccc; margin-bottom:10px; padding-bottom:10px;">Trenitalia and Trenord railway personnel have called for a 24-hour |
| national strike starting at 2100 Oct. 13 due to a dispute over contract renewals. While the majority of long-distance trains will likely operate despite the strike, commuter and regional train services could face moderate disruptions throughout the strike's duration. Although the industrial action will certainly result in transport disruptions across country, Italian law requires that a minimum level of transportation services be maintained during strikes.</div> |
