The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has updated its advisory, warning airlines to avoid flying over the Persian Gulf in addition to Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE, according to an EASA notice. The move extends a warning issued earlier in the day that covered the western Gulf of Oman.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has widened its airspace advisory for the Persian Gulf region, adding the Persian Gulf itself to a list that already included Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and the UAE. The update comes hours after an earlier EASA warning—reported by The Zioneer at 15:22 Jerusalem—that covered the western Gulf of Oman. The advisory cites ongoing regional security volatility, though no specific threat has been detailed. The earlier warning also covered the same four Gulf states and the western Gulf of Oman; the new inclusion of the broader Persian Gulf marks a significant expansion. The advisory remains precautionary, and no incidents have been reported in the affected airspace.
