Affected Airspace:
Syrian airspace, all altitudes.

Applicability:
Applies to operators

Description:
This CZIB is issued on the basis of information available to EU Member States and
EU institutions. Due to the remaining hazardous security situation, with the
presence of terrorist organisations and ongoing military operations, there is a risk
of both intentional targeting and misidentification of civil aircraft. The presence of a
wide range of ground-to-ground and dedicated anti-aviation weaponry poses a
HIGH risk to operations at all flight altitudes.

Recommendation(s):
Operators should take this information and any other relevant information into
account in their own risk assessments, alongside any available guidance or
directions from their national authority as appropriate.

Latest operational information on ‘Closures and warnings’ issued by means of ICAO
