The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has issued an advisory concerning operations through Saudi Arabian airspace.

The notice follows a series of Houthi attacks that have raised safety concerns for civil aviation flying through the region.

The advisory is intended to guide airlines and operators as they assess risk on routes over or near Saudi Arabia, a key corridor for traffic between Europe, the Middle East and Asia.

EASA issues safety information bulletins to help carriers manage risk on international routes. Source: Reuters
