- European Aviation Safety Agency advises against flying over Iran.
- Safety concerns cited amid regional tensions.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) issued a warning to airlines on Friday, recommending that they avoid operating flights within Iranian airspace.
The advisory comes amid ongoing regional tensions and concerns over the safety of civilian aviation in Iran. EASA emphasized that airlines should carefully assess risks before planning routes over the country.
Officials highlighted that the recommendation is based on safety considerations and does not imply a complete ban, but urges carriers to take extra precautions.
The agency’s guidance follows similar advisories issued by other international aviation authorities in recent months, reflecting heightened concern over potential threats to civil aviation in the region.
Airlines operating in and around Iran are now reviewing flight paths and implementing measures to ensure passenger and crew safety, in line with international aviation standards.
