Narrative:

We were proceeding to kuwait under jedda control, clearance was H-55 to ash, G-51 to ail, B-54 to kuwait. We were established on B-54 at novem intersection (check point) and jedda control handed us over to bahrain control. Between novem and hfr, bahrain told us we were not to be on B-54 and to establish on A-1 but with no instructions or clearance to get there. Several request for clearance instructions to get to A-1 were requested along with available altitudes on B-54 with no response. We were finally handed off to kuwait who had us remain on B-54 and gave us descent and clearance into kuwait. Upon landing at kuwait we were advised that bahrain was filing a missed airways report. We proceeded at all times by our ATC clearance and flight plan route which at no time included any mention or clearance to or on A-1 or into bahrain airspace.
