Caution Advised as Middle East Airspace Reopens
EASA is remianing in touch with operators about Middle East security concerns

European authorities are continuing to urge caution for flights in the Middle East region as a series of Saturday-published notams closing airspace in Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, and Iran expired yesterday. Following Iran's attacks against Israel on Saturday, the European Commission and EASA are continuing to closely monitor the situation to assess safety risks and have remained in close contact with all relevant civil aviation authorities, in particular with the Israeli agency.

“Currently, there are a number of risk-mitigation instruments in place for the airspaces concerned, including publicly available Conflict Zone Information Bulletins (CZIBs) and Information Notes that have been distributed to relevant parties on a need-to-know basis,” EASA said.
