EU Aviation Agency Extends Iran-Iraq Airspace Avoidance

The European Union Aviation Safety Agency issued new July 8 conflict-zone records telling operators not to fly in Iranian and Iraqi airspace until August 31 unless reviewed earlier. The official feed also shows a new Lebanon advisory and marks the broader Middle East and Persian Gulf bulletin as withdrawn, shifting from one regional warning to country-specific active bulletins. Reports said the warning reflects continuing military tension and the potential for further action after the U.S.-Iran escalation. The update matters to Israel because regional flight corridors remain part of wartime security and travel planning after repeated Iran-linked missile, drone and airspace disruptions.
