The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has issued an advisory warning airlines to avoid Saudi airspace following renewed fighting and attacks involving the Houthis. The advisory was made public via a bulletin posted on the agency's website on Wednesday.
In addition to the Saudi airspace warning, the EASA extended an existing directive instructing carriers to steer clear of the airspace over Lebanon, Iran, and Iraq, as well as designated portions of Gulf waters, with this broader warning remaining in effect until November 16. Agency officials stated that they will continue to actively monitor the security situation.
