Air Navigation announces a reduction in the airspace designated for military aviation

The General Company for Airports and Air Navigation Management announced, today, Thursday, the reduction of the airspace designated for military aviation, which increases the area of airspace designated for civil aviation. The company's General Manager, Abbas Sabbar Al-Baydhani, said in a statement: "After several meetings and correspondence with the Joint Air Operations Center over a period of approximately two years, the company's request to reduce the airspace reserved for military forces was accepted," pointing out that "this comes within the framework of rehabilitating the Iraqi airspace and the lounges of Baghdad International Airport, as part of the major campaign launched by the company to improve the reality of air services.' He added, "It will be a greater space for civil aviation to cross and open doors for companies to use the airspace, which will serve companies to cross Iraqi airspace in record time, increase the number of passing aircraft, and maximize the company's revenues."
