The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has advised airlines to avoid flying over Lebanese and Iranian airspace, despite a ceasefire between Lebanon and the Israeli regime. The advisory remains in effect until January 31, 2025.
Persistent Uncertainty Despite Ceasefire
EASA acknowledged that the ceasefire, which took effect on November 27, 2023, has reduced tensions but emphasized that uncertainty in the region persists. The agency urged airlines to make careful decisions about flying in these areas due to ongoing risks.
Flight Safety Concerns After the Ceasefire
The recommendation comes after a series of conflicts that began in October 2023. While the ceasefire agreement has been a step toward reducing hostilities, EASA continues to warn against the use of Lebanese and Iranian airspace for flights.
Temporary Restrictions and Precautions
EASA emphasized the need for airlines operating in these airspaces to exercise caution, considering the security conditions in the region. The advisory encourages carriers to factor these risks into their flight planning and operational decisions.
