The European Union Aviation Safety Agency advised operators not to fly in Jordan's Amman flight-information region at any altitude. Its July 22 conflict-zone bulletin cited unpredictable military developments and possible missiles, drones, combat aircraft and air-defense activity as posing a high risk to civil aviation. The recommendation remains valid through August 31 unless it is revised or withdrawn earlier. EASA said recurrent Iranian missile and drone attacks against assets in Jordan, interception activity and falling debris have raised risks, and the new notice replaces its July 14 regional guidance for Jordan.
