The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has renewed its Conflict Zone Information Bulletin, advising operators not to fly at any altitude through the airspace of Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, as well as parts of the Gulf of Oman.
The bulletin, issued on 14 July and valid until 29 July – unless reviewed earlier – applies to EU airlines and third-country carriers operating services to, from and within the EU.
EASA said the recommendation follows a renewed deterioration in the regional security situation after repeated violations of a ceasefire agreed between the US and Iran.
