Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan flew from Abu Dhabi to London Stansted on June 15, arriving aboard a Boeing 777-200ER (tail A6-ALN). The 5-hour flight landed just before 8 a.m. local time.

The trip follows a week of intense diplomacy over the Iran war, during which the UAE president hosted US UN envoy Mike Waltz in Abu Dhabi on June 11 and met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in May. Both meetings, as reported by The National and the Khaleej Times, focused on the conflict’s impact on energy supplies and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. London, a key diplomatic hub, offers a venue for further consultations with British officials or international partners.

The visit continues a pattern of high-level travel for Sheikh Mohamed, who recently returned from a state visit to India and has shuttled between Abu Dhabi and regional capitals. His schedule reflects the UAE’s central role in mediating the fallout from the Iran war, a crisis that has reshaped global energy markets and security alignments.
