EU aviation authorities advise airlines to avoid Lebanese and Israeli airspace
European aviation authorities have advised airlines to avoid Lebanese and Israeli airspace for the next month amid the escalating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
The European Commission and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) warned of “an overall intensification of airstrikes and degradation in the security situation,” recommending airlines "not to operate within the airspaces of Lebanon and Israel at all flight levels." This advisory is in effect until October 31.
