Operational Safety Advisory
Aircraft Operations in the Middle East Region
George Town, Grand Cayman (6 March 2026) - The Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands (CAACI) advises Cayman Islands AOC holders, operators, and pilots of Cayman Islands-registered aircraft to exercise heightened vigilance when planning or conducting flight operations in, or in the vicinity of, the Middle East region.
Due to ongoing geopolitical tensions and the potential for rapidly changing security conditions, there may be increased risks to civil aviation operations, including possible military activity, airspace restrictions, and disruptions to air navigation services.
Operators are reminded to conduct appropriate operational risk assessments prior to operating within affected airspace and to review all relevant safety information, including applicable NOTAMs, airspace restrictions, and guidance issued by States responsible for the relevant Flight Information Regions (FIRs). Operators should also consider alternative routings or the avoidance of certain areas where risks cannot be adequately mitigated.
The CAACI remains committed to fulfilling its safety oversight obligations and will utilize alternative oversight methods where travel to the region is not possible. Where oversight activities previously relied on travel to airports in the region, alternative arrangements will be implemented as necessary.
The CAACI will continue to monitor developments and may issue further guidance as required.
For any questions regarding this advisory, please contact civil.aviation@caacayman.com
