The FAA ban comes amid heightened military activities and increased political tensions in the Middle East.
The FAA said it issued the airspace ban “due to heightened military activities and increased political tensions in the Middle East, which present an inadvertent risk to US civil aviation operations”. Singapore Airlines Ltd said after the attack on US bases in Iraq that all of its flights would be diverted from Iranian airspace.
Airlines and the United Nations’ aviation agency have started to monitor strategic airspace over Iran and Iraq. On Monday, Germany published a new warning for Iraq, indicating areas of concern for overflying traffic, according to a report published by the site OPSGROUP.
