Georgia's Civil Aviation Agency advises Georgian airlines to refrain from flying in Iran and Iraq airspace
Georgia’s Civil Aviation Agency advises airlines registered in Georgia to refrain from flying in Iran and Iraq airspace due to the tragic Ukrainian aircraft catastrophe.
“Based on the European Union aviation security risk assessment integrated group’s recommendation, for the reason of flying and aviation security between Iran and Iraq’s airspace, considering Ukrainian aircraft catastrophe’s plausible causes, Georgia’s Civil Agency calls on Airlines registered in Georgia to refrain from using Iran and Iraq airspace,” reads Georgia’s Civil Aviation Agency’s statement.
According to the Agency, the EU aviation security risk assessment integrated group’s evaluation of flying in Iran and Iraq airspace contains high risks and they called on Airlines registered in the EU to refrain from flying.
According to the agency, information is being exchanged regularly between international aviation organisations and aviation authorities regarding the risks to protect the wellbeing of travelers.
Ukraine's passenger Boeing 737, flying from Tehran to Kiev, crashed shortly after takeoff near Tehran airport on January 8. On January 11, Iran took the responsibility and admitted of mistakenly shooting down the plane by a missile.

Two persons, Tsotne Soselia and Kakhaber Kupreishvili, who were detained on June 20 protests will allegedly receive a plea agreement that will be announced in the coming days, Prosecutor Giorgi Mukbaniani told reporters after the trial ended.
According to him, to conclude a plea agreement, a person must recognize the factual circumstances.
Tsotne Soselia and Kakhaber Kupreishvili went on a hunger strike on January 10, demanding a plea agreement.
The detainees, arrested during the breaking up of a rally by special forces outside the Georgian Parliament protests on June 20-21 against Russian occupation, are charged with the organisation, management or participation in group violence (Article 225 of the Criminal Code).
