The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has renewed its advisory for airlines to avoid flying over Iranian airspace due to ongoing security concerns. This updated recommendation will remain in effect until July 31, following the expiration of a previous advisory that covered the airspaces of Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon.
The initial advisory was issued after a series of military actions involving Israel and Iran led to heightened tensions in the region. Although a ceasefire between Iran and Israel was reached on June 24, EASA highlighted that the situation remains volatile.
EASA's latest conflict zone information bulletin (CZIB) warns that despite efforts by Iranian authorities to manage airspace risks through temporary closures and restrictions, "a sudden resumption of hostilities" could disrupt these measures. The agency emphasized the importance of sharing information among EU members and stakeholders to ensure flight safety over conflict zones.
