ICAO warns Crimean airspace 'unsafe'

摘要

Ukrainian and international aviation authorities have called on aircraft operators to avoid flights through Crimean airspace due to safety concerns in the contested region. Authorities in Ukraine issued a NOTAM on 3 April to circumnavigate the Simferopol flight information region in the south of the state, and requested that Eu-rocontrol reject any flightplans for routes through the airspace. This was in response to a letter from ICAO warning international governments and aviation organisations that authority within Crimea's airspace is unclear, as it could be controlled both by Ukrainian and Russian air navigation service providers.
