Conflict-Zone Overflight Risk for Business Aviation

Conflict-zone overflight risk is sharper for business aviation than for scheduled airlines: a charter or corporate flight department routes a single tail across many FIRs on short notice.

Middle East and North Africa Overflight Risk: GNSS Jamming, Military Activity, and Airspace Closures in 2026

Sustained GNSS jamming below FL320, SAM activity over Yemen, and near-zero ADS-B traffic across six MENA FIRs signal a materially elevated threat environment in 2026. Operators must treat active NOTAMs as hard avoidance zones and validate inertial navigation redundancy before any regional operation.

Widespread Airspace Avoidance Across Middle East, North Africa, and Russia FIRs Reflects Persistent Regional Risk

Sustained ADS-B surveillance reveals near-zero commercial overflight across Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Sudan, and adjacent FIRs — operators are voluntarily excluding these regions based on air-defense activity, drone proliferation, ATC degradation, and insurance exposure, not waiting for formal airspace closures.
