AIR SAFETY: Air France suspends all flights over the Red Sea area “until further notice”, following “suspicion that a crew observed a luminous object at high altitude in the Sudan area”. Several aircraft have turned back (company).

Good evening, we do not confirm this information and would like to make the following clarification:

As a precautionary measure, Air France has decided to suspend overflight of the Red Sea area until further notice. As a result, the itinerary of some of its flights has been modified. Depending on their location, some aircraft, such as flight AF934 from Paris to Antananarivo, have been able to turn around and return to their departure airport.

This decision follows the suspicion that a crew had observed a luminous object at high altitude in the Sudan area.

Air France reiterates that the safety of its customers and crews is an absolute imperative. The company is constantly monitoring geopolitical developments in the areas it serves and flies over, to ensure the highest levels of flight safety.
