EASA CZIB CZIB-2026-08
Airspace of Jordan
Summary
The EASA Conflict Zone Information Bulletin (CZIB) titled 'Airspace of Jordan' addresses the heightened risks for civil aviation within the FIR Amman (OJAC) airspace at all altitudes and flight levels. It highlights increased military activity, including missile and drone attacks, which pose significant dangers to all aircraft operating in this region. The bulletin applies to all air operators subject to Commission Regulation (EU) 965/2012 and third Country Operators authorized by EASA under TCO authorizations.
What Changed
This new CZIB introduces a comprehensive risk assessment and operational guidance due to the deteriorating security situation in Jordanian airspace following renewed military conflict and missile attacks. It establishes a strong recommendation for air operators to avoid the affected airspace entirely, superseding previous guidance related to the Middle East and Persian Gulf region.
Why It Matters
This bulletin is critical for aviation professionals as it directly impacts flight planning and operational safety for EU and third-country operators flying to, from, or within the EU. The unpredictable military threats and lack of official airspace restrictions increase the risk of misidentification and missile-related hazards, requiring heightened vigilance and compliance with updated safety recommendations.
What To Do
Affected air operators must refrain from operating within the FIR Amman (OJAC) airspace at all altitudes and flight levels until at least 31 August 2026 or until further notice. Operators should continuously monitor regional airspace developments and adhere to all relevant aeronautical publications and guidance issued by national authorities and EASA. Compliance with these recommendations is mandatory until the validity date or until the situation is reassessed.
