FAA Prohibited Flight Operations in Ethiopian Airspace

(WP) – After Flight 17 was shot down in eastern Ukraine on July 17,                                                                                 the Federal Aviation Administration expanded an existing regulation                                                                           that prohibited certain flights from operating in the region. The FAA                                                                   regularly issues airspace restrictions and prohibitions for U.S.                                                                                   aircraft traveling through potentially hostile airspace.

Here’s where the FAA has issued flight advisories and prohibitions for U.S.                                                        aircraft as of July 18.
