ED Decision 2025/001/R
RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH FLYING OVER OR NEAR CONFLICT ZONES – CAT OPERATIONS WITH AEROPLANES
(a) When intending to operate over or near conflict zones, an operator of commercial air transport operations with aeroplanes should conduct a risk assessment to properly identify, evaluate and manage the associated risks, and take appropriate risk-mitigation measures. The risk assessment and mitigation measures put in place should ensure that a flight does not commence or continue as planned unless it has been verified by every reasonable means available that the airspace containing the intended route from the aerodrome of departure to the aerodrome of arrival, including the intended take-off, destination and en-route alternate aerodromes, can be safely used for the planned operation.
Note: The term ‘reasonable means’ is meant to denote the use, at the point of departure or while the aircraft is in flight, of information available to the operator either through official information published by the aeronautical information services or readily obtainable from other sources.
(b) ICAO Doc 10084 ‘The Risk Assessment Manual for Civil Aircraft Operations Over or Near Conflict Zones’ provides further guidance on the risk assessment to be performed when flying over or near conflict zones.
