The first is a warning message, in which the Committee urges pilots to conduct additional risk assessments before flying during the ongoing hostilities on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border. The second NOTAM informs about the possible presence of unmanned aerial vehicles in the airspace of Armenia, while at the same time asking the crew to immediately provide information to air traffic controllers in the event of detecting any unknown aircraft.
By the third message, the Committee informs about certain restrictions on the air border of Armenia and Azerbaijan, some sections of which are closed for security reasons. The Committee also noted the high level of cooperation between the air traffic control authorities and the air defense forces.
EUROCONTROL - Air Navigation Safety Organization and EASA - European Aviation Security Agency expressed their confidence in the steps taken by the Civil Aviation Committee of Armenia to fulfill the obligations and security measures.
