Airline Association Seeks Assistance to Mitigate Operational Risks

The Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) has issued a statement highlighting the need for government support to mitigate the operational challenges faced by airlines due to escalating global conflicts. The association notes that the situation has led to increased safety risks, higher jet fuel prices, and longer flight routings, particularly along the Asia-Europe air corridor. AAPA is calling on governments to provide timely threat information, maintain clear airspace restrictions, and consider measures to alleviate extraordinary operational costs. The statement was released by AeroTime.
