German Air Traffic Control Advises Avoiding Iranian Airspace Until Feb 10

Germany’s air traffic control authority said Thursday it was recommending planes avoid Iranian airspace after the United States has in recent days warned of a possible military intervention in Iran.

A spokesman for Germany’s Flight Safety Office told AFP in a statement it had issued a recommendation “that Iranian airspace not be overflown… until February 10,” adding that the advice had been issued “on the instruction of the transport ministry”. (AFP)
