The EU aren&#8217;t happy about this because it&#8217;s questionable whether there&#8217;s really any new threat here. The impact to ops is essentially delays &#8211; all passengers and crew will have their passport details checked thoroughly as if they were arriving from outside of the region.<\/li>\n<li><strong>United States<\/strong> &#8211; There are ops updates for several airports. KCOS\/Colorado Springs has been affected this week by grass fires, KASE\/Aspen is open again, there are long delays at KIAD\/Washington Dulles due to runway work, KHTO\/East Hampton has new operating rules, and PPR is needed for non-sched ops at KBOS\/Boston until late June.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Switzerland<\/strong> -The World Economic Forum is happening from May 20 &#8211; 26. Airport and airspace restrictions will apply. We take a look in more detail.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jamaica<\/strong> &#8211; The entire MKJK\/Kingston FIR went ATC zero on May 12 due to a strike. More are possible. Be familiar with contingency procedures if headed there. We talk about what they are, and where to find them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sri Lanka<\/strong> &#8211; There is widespread civil unrest, a notam has been issued advising operators to tanker fuel as it is unlikely to be available. Security is a problem for layovers &#8211; avoid if possible.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Unsolved Mysteries<\/h4>\n<p>Can pilots use contingency procedures on the NAT when refusing a climb\/descent clearance from ATC? We get various points of view from the group.<\/p>\n<h4>Danger Club!<\/h4>\n<p>We&#8217;re holding our next session on Wednesday, May 18 at 1900z and we think it is going to be a good one.
