Sharm El Sheikh reopens\u00a0<\/strong>03NOV\u00a0 HESH\/Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt has reopened to international traffic, with a number of airlines starting services again on 01NOV.\u00a0However, there are conflicting views on security at the airport, depending on your state of registry.\u00a0Read article.<\/a><\/p>\n

New ICAO Phraseologies <\/strong>03NOV From 10NOV, new international aviation phraseology for SIDs and STARs is effective,\u00a0but there’s a problem.\u00a0Read article.<\/a><\/p>\n

OEJN\/Jeddah, Saudi Arabia<\/strong>\u00a0On 27OCT, Saudi Arabia intercepted and destroyed a ballistic missile launched from Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen. The Houthis confirmed the launch via the Saba news agency, saying that the missile\u00a0was targeting Jeddah International Airport (OEJN)<\/strong>, not the holy city of Mecca, as some other news reports had claimed.<\/p>\n

EHEH\/Eindhoven<\/strong>\u00a0has new procedures for PPR effective 30OCT – if you\u2019re flying there, get PPR direct from the airport. You can read all the info\u00a0on their new GA page<\/a>. Oh, and there\u2019s now a fee. \u20ac300 for PPR for a 21 ton aircraft, for example.<\/p>\n

LFMN\/Nice\u00a0<\/strong>Runway 04R\/22L will be closed during November.<\/p>\n

WARR\/Juanda<\/strong>\u00a0Airport is closed due to works in progress except for helicopter medical evacuations from until 15NOV<\/p>\n

UTZZ\/Tajikistan<\/strong>\u00a0Disagreement between Russia and Tajikistan may lead to operational restrictions between the two countries. Air traffic\u00a0between Moscow and Dushanbe<\/a>\u00a0may be suspended from 08NOV.<\/p>\n

FAZZ\/South Africa<\/strong>\u00a0Reports this week suggest that foreign nationals entering South Africa through any port of entry should expect delays up to four hours due to a new enhanced security measure that requires the capture of fingerprints and a photograph. OR Tambo in Jo\u2019burg seems to be the worst offender.<\/p>\n

BGKK\/Kulusuk<\/strong>\u00a0has updated opening hours: 1100-1900Z Tuesday to Saturday. They ask for 3 hours minimum notice PPR.<\/p>\n

PLCH\/Christmas Island<\/strong>\u00a0Fuel is in short supply, notified as being only available for Scheduled service and emergency flights. PLCH is often used on Pacific crossings as an alternate, so any diversion would be considered an \u2018emergency\u2019, but check before actually planning a tech stop.<\/p>\n

LEZZ\/Spain<\/strong>\u00a0Previously notified fuel strike now appears to be one provider only, so it looks like impact minimal.<\/p>\n

DGAA\/Accra<\/strong>\u00a0ATC is having a few VHF issues, primarily on 126.7 – if you can\u2019t reach them, call HF 8903 instead.<\/p>\n

EDDT\/Berlin Tegel<\/strong>\u00a0will be busy 14-18 NOV due to state visits, they won\u2019t accept GA\/Private traffic during this time, but you can check specifics with them at vvd-txl@berlin-airport.de<\/p>\n

HLLS\/Sabha, Libya<\/strong>\u00a0The airport has been closed for over 2 years due to fighting in the area. A new Notam has been issued which officially extends the closure period to 26DEC, as talks continue between the authorities and local groups to find a way to re-open the airport.<\/p>\n

LYBE\/Belgrade<\/strong>\u00a0Jet A1 not available through the airport fuel service provider until the end of the month. Make sure you get a confirmed fuel release through a third-party fuel provider before operating here.<\/p>\n

LTZZ\/Turkey\u00a0<\/strong>On 29 October, the US Department of State ordered the departure of family members of employees posted to the US Consulate General in Istanbul due to security information indicating extremist groups continued aggressive efforts to attack US citizens in Istanbul. US Operators should consider ops into airports in Turkey carefully.<\/p>\n

OMDB\/Dubai\u00a0<\/strong>Traffic was stopped for approx 1.5 hours on 29OCT due to a drone. The Airport closed from 1930-2050 LT, and some flights were diverted. OMSJ\/Sharjah was also briefly closed due to the same drone. Unauthorized drones have halted airport operations in Dubai twice in recent months.<\/p>\n

GMZZ\/Morocco\u00a0<\/strong>is busy from 4-20NOV, GA and non-sched traffic will see restrictions. Check their Notam A0896 from 01NOV. If you\u2019re part of the event, put RMK\/COP22 in your FPL. No long stays will be allowed.<\/p>\n

WSSL\/Singapore Seletar<\/strong>\u00a0We\u2019ve received crew reports of challenges with visual approaches into Seletar (there are no instrument approaches). There are unlighted obstacles on the approach to Runway 21. After dark, approaches are only possible to Runway 03. More importantly, noise rules will soon demand a challenging base turn, greater than 5 degrees, to a half-mile 3.5 degree final, to a 1% down slope runway. We welcome further comments (bulletin@fsbureau.org).<\/p>\n

LGZZ\/Greece<\/strong>\u00a0There will be a ferry strike between the Greek mainland and all Islands on 24NOV. No services will operate that day.<\/p>\n

FTZZ\/Chad\u00a0<\/strong>Reports of nationwide public service strike including Airport operations at N\u2019Djamena. The unions stated that the strike will persist until the government pays overdue wage arrears.<\/p>\n
