EU aviation agency tells operators to avoid Iran, Iraq and Lebanon airspaces until August 31
BENGALURU: The European Union Aviation Safety Agency said on Wednesday that airlines should not operate within the airspace of Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon, amid ongoing tensions and the potential for further military action, as the US and Iran exchanged fresh attacks.
The EASA said its bulletin for the airspaces of Iran, Iraq and Lebanon was valid until August 31.
The agency said it had withdrawn its previous bulletin that had also asked airlines to exercise caution when operating within the airspace of Bahrain, Kuwait, Israel, Jordan, Qatar, Oman, UAE and Saudi Arabia.
It was not immediately clear whether EASA would issue a new advisory for those nations.
