The latest Conflict Zone Information Bulletin (CZIB) replaces an earlier advisory that was due to expire on July 8.
The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has extended its recommendation for airlines to avoid flying through the airspace of Iran and Iraq until August 31, citing renewed military hostilities between the United States and Iran that have significantly increased risks to commercial aviation.
The latest Conflict Zone Information Bulletin (CZIB) replaces an earlier advisory that was due to expire on July 8.
