In light of developments resulting from a technical problem with the control and navigation systems in Greek airspace, the Greek authorities fully closed Greek airspace until further notice.
EgyptAir explained that this closure affected the flights of the company and other airlines transiting to and heading for Europe and the United States, as these flights rely mainly on Greek airspace as one of the main air navigation corridors on these routes.
In this context, EgyptAir is currently taking the necessary operational measures to modify the navigation routing of its flights to avoid crossing Greek airspace. These modifications are expected to take some time due to the nature of Greek airspace and its importance as a main corridor for the company's flights to Europe and America.
EgyptAir stressed that it is continuously following the situation in coordination with the Integrated Operations Control Center (IOCC) of EgyptAir Airlines, and the impact of these emergency changes on flight schedules, and that the company will communicate with its customers through its various channels and customer service in Egypt and at its overseas offices to inform them of any developments as they occur.
