The aviation industry operates in an increasingly complex global security environment. Armed conflicts, geopolitical tensions and rapidly evolving air defence capabilities have significantly heightened the risks associated with operating aircraft near or over conflict zones.
In recent years, the aviation industry has witnessed several tragic incidents in which commercial aircraft were misidentified and shot down while operating in or near areas of military activity. Events such as the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 and the Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 shoot-down have demonstrated the devastating consequences of misidentification in contested airspace and reinforced the importance of robust risk assessment and operational decision making.
Managing these risks requires more than simply avoiding declared conflict zones. Airlines and aviation stakeholders must evaluate evolving military capabilities, shifting threat environments and complex geopolitical developments to make informed operational decisions that protect passengers, crew and aircraft.
