Description

This CZIB is issued on the basis of information available to EU Member States and EU institutions.

Air navigation services in the country could be degraded or unavailable.

-    approach from the sea,
-    full coordination with local authorities and ATC, and
-    based on a robust risk assessment. 
Operators should take this information and any other relevant information into account in their own risk assessments, alongside any available guidance or directions from their national authorities, including information shared through the European Information Sharing and Cooperation Platform on Conflict Zones.
