Update – July 26, 2022<\/strong><\/h6>\n

There has been no major fighting in Ethiopia’s northern Tigray region since late Dec 2021.<\/strong> A ceasefire agreed in March 2022 has mostly been upheld, and Ethiopia’s federal and Tigray regional governments look set for negotiations soon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For the time being though, airspace in the north of the country should still be avoided<\/strong> – several states maintain active airspace warnings for the HAAA\/Addis FIR, and Ethiopia still have a Notam in place banning all flights at FL290 and below.<\/p>\n

Here’s the current version of the Notam, the content of which hasn’t changed since its first iteration:<\/p>\n

HAAA A0220\/22<\/strong> - FLIGHT IS PROHIBITED TO FLY AT OR BELOW FL290 WITHIN\r\nMEKELE TMA AND WITHIN THE AIRSPACE DEFINED BY JOINING\r\nTHE FOLLOWING SUCCESSIVE POINTS AND LINES\r\n135914.7N 0362048.9E\r\n130042.8N 0365122.9E\r\nETOBU(132132N 0373433E)\r\nTILUD(134116N 0375950E)\r\nEVITO(142911N 0382424E)\r\nTHE COMMON FIR BOUNDARY BETWEEN ADDIS AND ASMARA AND\r\nTHE COMMON FIR BOUNDARY BETWEEN ADDIS AND KHARTOUM\r\nREF AIP SUP A 04\/2021.

Better yet, here’s a picture of what this actually looks like:<\/p>\n
