Worldwide<\/strong>\u00a0As the mosquito-borne Zika virus spreads worldwide, some health and aviation authorities have begun targeting business aircraft to be treated with insecticide \u2013 similar to requirements that have been in place for commercial aircraft arriving from certain points of origin.\u00a0The most prominent to date is Italy, which has reported several recent cases of the Zika virus affecting people who returned from trips to South America and the Caribbean. A \u201cCertificate of Residual Disinsection\u201d is now required for all aircraft operating in Italy,\u00a0following recommended WHO and International Civil Aviation Organization Annex 9 procedures.\u00a0Italy had originally limited the certificate requirement to aircraft arriving from Zika-affected countries, but \u201cwithin 36 hours that changed\u201d to all countries. Authorities in Costa Rica are requiring that aircraft arriving from affected countries be sprayed on arrival \u2013 with crew, passengers and luggage aboard \u2013 with an insecticide provided by the local agriculture department.<\/p>\n

UADD\/Taraz, Kazakhstan<\/strong>\u00a0has been upgraded to RFF\/Rescue Fire CAT9, and with regular international flights starting in June, should have customs available. Maybe become a useful Central Asian en-route alternate.<\/p>\n

UKLV\/Lviv FIR, Ukraine<\/strong>\u00a0A new Notam (A0193\/16) is issued to extend the ban in Ukrainian Airspace of any aircraft operator registered in the Russian Federation until 09MAY.<\/p>\n

NWWW\/Noumea<\/strong>\u00a0has multiple runway (and therefore airport) closures until 25FEB, check Notams carefully if operating.<\/p>\n

NZAA\/Auckland\u00a0<\/strong>Work is currently in progress on the threshold of RWY 23L with the threshold inset 2,270m.\u00a0 The information is contained within AIP updates and not via NOTAM. Operators should note there is are no ILS approaches available at Auckland until 30MAR. While weather is usually very good during February and March operators can expect delays in poor wx.<\/p>\n

NZQN\/Queenstown<\/strong>\u00a0is closed from 1800 each day until 31MAR for runway widening works.<\/p>\n

AYPY\/Port Moresby<\/strong>\u00a0Telecoms outage continues. To contact ATC Centre
\nuse (675) 325 8704 instead of published numbers. Multiple VHF freqs out of service, use HF 5565 as alternate.<\/p>\n

RPHI\/Manila<\/strong>\u00a0has a radar outage on 18-19FEB meaning procedural control will affect the Luzon island area within the FIR, 10\/15 minute enroute separation as standard.<\/p>\n

Somalia\u00a0<\/strong>A local terrorist organisation claimed responsibility for the bombing of a Daallo Airlines passenger aircraft on 02FEB shortly after it took off from Mogadishu\u2019s Aden Adde International Airport (HCMM\/MGO). The bombing forced the Airbus A321-111 to make an emergency landing at Mogadishu\u2019s airport.<\/p>\n

South Africa<\/strong>\u00a0Refurbishment will affect Johannesburg\u2019s OR Tambo International Airport (FAOR\/JNB) beginning 13FEB when security and immigration will move from Terminal A to the Central Terminal. Slow processing expected until end March.<\/p>\n

US and Cuba advance Air Service agreement\u00a0<\/strong>US officials will travel to Havana to officially sign the agreement that will make the two countries a step closer for its first commercial flights. Once the\u00a0 US-Cuba air travel pact that was agreed upon on\u00a016DEC2015 will be finalized, airlines will have about two weeks to submit applications for US-Cuba routes with the US Department of Transport and get approval from Cuban authorities to obtain space at Cuban airports. Industry experts expect that the first Cuba-bound flights will be in the air sometime in 2016.<\/p>\n
