In Islamabad, protests and clashes created a volatile environment. Road closures and blockades made movement across the city almost impossible.
For one client, this was critical. Their personnel needed to reach Islamabad Airport urgently, but self-travel was unsafe. They needed a secure evacuation they could trust.
The situation posed several problems:
Civil unrest created unpredictable dangers across the city
Roadblocks and closures disrupted travel routes
Personnel safety required professional support, not improvised solutions
The client contacted NGS’ 24/7 operations centre. Within 1 hour and 30 minutes, a secure evacuation team was ready, including:
A professional driver with local knowledge
A reliable vehicle able to navigate closures and blockades
An armed close protection officer to provide security
At the same time, the NGS risk analysis team tracked the unrest in real time, identifying the safest route and preparing backup plans in case conditions changed.
In the early hours, the evacuation took place. The team delivered the client securely to Islamabad Airport, well ahead of their departure flight.
This operation shows the importance of having a professional partner during a crisis. NGS combined real-time intelligence, secure logistics, and rapid response to complete a complex evacuation out of Pakistan quickly and safely.
