SF: 'Since MH17, all countries rely on advice from the US, the UK, France and Germany to highlight airspace risk,' says OPSGROUP. FMTNews
The US Federal Aviation Administration has issued an order to bar all US airline operators to fly over Tehran-controlled airspace. .
The downing of the unarmed Global Hawk aircraft, which can fly at up to 60,000 ft , was the latest of a series of incidents in the Gulf region, a critical artery for global oil supplies, that included explosive strikes on six oil tankers. The agency said it remained concerned about the escalation of tension and military activity within close proximity to high volume civil aircraft routes as well as Iran’s willingness to use long-range missiles in international airspace with little or no warning.
“Since MH17, all countries rely on advice from the US, the UK, France and Germany to highlight airspace risk,” OPSGROUP said. “The threat of a civil aircraft shootdown in southern Iran is real.”
