The agency’s previous warning covered the Middle East and the Gulf more broadly and had included Lebanon, while also advising airlines to exercise caution in the airspace of Bahrain, Kuwait, Israel, Jordan, Qatar, Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia.
The revision follows ceasefire agreements and what EASA described as an overall reduction in short-term tensions, but the agency maintained stricter country-specific warnings where risks remain elevated.
The update came after the US launched fresh attacks on Iran and Trump said the ceasefire with Tehran was “over,” heightening concerns that the region could face renewed conflict.
The European Commission, EASA and member states will continue to closely monitor the situation to assess evolving threats and risks for EU aircraft operators, including any increase or reduction in risk, the agency said.
