Guest Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 US warns airliners flying over Gulf of 'misidentification' FAA notice says commercial aircraft flying over the Gulf face potential risk of 'miscalculation or misidentification'. US warns airliners flying over Gulf of 'misidentification'U US diplomats warned commercial airliners flying over the wider Gulf of the risk of being "misidentified" amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran. The warning relayed by US diplomatic posts from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) underlined the risks the current tensions pose to a region crucial to global air travel. It also came as Lloyd's of London warned of increasing risks to maritime shipping in the region. Concerns about a possible conflict have flared since the White House ordered warships and bombers to the region to counter an alleged, unexplained threat from Iran that has seen the US order nonessential diplomatic staff out of Iraq. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/05/warns-carriers-flying-arabian-gulf-misidentification-190518065807097.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
