EASA CZIB CZIB-2026-08-R3: Airspace of Jordan

What to do

Affected air operators should conduct up-to-date risk assessments and maintain high levels of contingency planning for operations in the FIR Amman airspace. They must be prepared to follow short-notice instructions from state authorities and closely monitor all relevant aeronautical publications and information shared through the European Information Sharing and Cooperation Platform on Conflict Zones. Compliance with these recommendations is required until at least 16 November 2026 unless reviewed earlier.

Summary

The document titled Airspace of Jordan is a Conflict Zone Information Bulletin (CZIB) issued by EASA concerning the FIR Amman (OJAC) airspace at all altitudes. It addresses the volatile security situation due to the military conflict between the United States and Iran, which affects flight safety over Jordanian airspace. The bulletin applies to EASA operators and third Country Operators authorized by EASA conducting operations to, from, and within the EU.

What changed

The validity of the CZIB has been extended until 16 November 2026, with updated content and recommendations reflecting the current risk level. The document highlights an improvement in the security situation since 9 September but maintains caution due to the potential for renewed military activity. No new airspace restrictions have been issued by Jordanian authorities during previous escalations.

Why it matters

This bulletin is critical for aviation professionals as it informs operators of the ongoing risks related to military activities in Jordanian airspace, including missile and drone threats and the risk of misidentification of civil aircraft. Operators must be aware of the potential for sudden changes in the security environment, which could impact flight safety and require rapid operational adjustments. Maintaining situational awareness and contingency planning is essential to ensure compliance and safety.
