To make matters worse, ongoing ATC strikes along with system upgrades in France, and potential industrial action in Poland may be brewing the perfect storm for major traffic jams.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Russia <\/strong>\u2013 Ongoing sanctions against Russia are causing ongoing headaches for aviation. The rules are different in every country, and so operators need to be familiar with the jurisdictions they\u2019re flying over. In more news, the Russian CAA website is currently down due to a cyber-attack &#8211; check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/russian-caa-website-taken-offline\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">latest article<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dubai <\/strong>\u2013 Double trouble. There are two disruptions happening at the same time in May. At OMDB\/Dubai one runway is being closed from May 9 \u2013 June 11, while over at OMAD\/Al Bateen, the airport will be closed from May 11 \u2013 July 20. We discuss the potential impacts to traffic, along with suitable alternates during this time.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Saudi Arabia \u2013 <\/strong>Recent Houthi drone and missile attacks have caused flight disruptions at OEJN\/Jeddah airport. They seem to be travelling further, and becoming more accurate. Reports of aircraft being held near the Egyptian border during these attacks, but not new Notams have been issued. We talked about ESCAT procedures, <a href=\"https:\/\/ops.group\/blog\/saudi-yemen-airspace-warning\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">where to find them<\/a>, and what alternates to use. See <a href=\"https:\/\/safeairspace.net\/saudi-arabia\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Safe Airspace<\/a> for more info.<\/li>\n<li><strong>South-East Asia \u2013 <\/strong>Several major border openings have been announced in recent weeks including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. We take a brief look at what has been changing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>USA \u2013 <\/strong>The FBI has released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/uscert\/ncas\/alerts\/aa22-076a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new warning<\/a> of cyber-attacks maliciously targeting SATCOM networks. With the help of members on the call, we assess what this actually means for operators.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Colombia <\/strong>\u2013 We talk about two recent non-fatal attacks on airline pilots resisting robberies in the cities of Bogota and Cali. A major carrier has released security information to its crew. The basic advice is don\u2019t put up a fight, leave valuables in the hotel, and only carry small amounts of cash.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Airport Spy <\/strong>\u2013 We\u2019ve had a lot of new reports in the last few weeks.
