Netanyahu’s plane avoided flying over countries that could enforce #icc warrant: Report AJ

⚠️ The aircraft carrying the ISR PM from Hungary to the US flew 400km (248 miles) further than the normal route to avoid the #airspace of several countries that could enforce an arrest warrant issued by the International Criminal Court, according to the Haaretz newspaper.

📢 The Sinai Foundation for #humanrights stated on March 23, that it had documented the passage of four military cargo aircraft through the airspace of the Sinai Peninsula at extremely low altitudes over the Quseima area in Egyptian Sinai, before crossing Egyptian #airspace into Israel. It is believed that the aircraft headed toward Ramon Airbase.

actionnetwork.orgKeep American Air Space Safe A catastrophic midair collision near Washington, D.C., killed 67 people. While the investigation is ongoing, one fact is undeniable: America’s air traffic control system is dangerously understaffed, and the consequences are deadly. The FAA needs 14,600 certified air traffic controllers to keep our skies safe. Right now, we only have 10,800, forcing controllers to work six-day weeks, grueling 10-hour shifts, and back-to-back rotations with no room for error. Near-misses are increasing. Delays are worsening. And tragedies like this will keep happening unless we act. But instead of fixing the crisis, Trump and his allies are spreading a lie by blaming DEI. The truth? Trump’s FAA hiring freezes, budget cuts, and restrictions on mental health care forced controllers out of the profession, leaving the system in freefall. The FAA is working to recover, but at the current pace, it will take nearly a decade to fix the damage. We don’t have that kind of time. Congress, even a Congress controlled by MAGA leaders, understands that our air space must be kept safe. Click ‘START WRITING’ to demand Congress fully fund air traffic control recruitment, hiring, and training NOW -- before more lives are lost.

Uncontrolled reentries of space objects create a collision 💥 risk with aircraft ✈️ in flight. The highest-density regions have a 0.8% chance per year of being affected. This rate rises to 26% 📊 for larger areas of #airspace, such as that found in the #US 🇺🇸 , #Europe 🇪🇺, or around major cities in the #AsiaPacific 🇸🇬🇭🇰 🇹🇭🇨🇳 🇦🇺 region. The collision risk could be mitigated if controlled reentries into the ocean were required for all missions. nature.com/articles/s41598-024

NatureAirspace closures due to reentering space objects - Scientific ReportsUncontrolled reentries of space objects create a collision risk with aircraft in flight. While the probability of a strike is low, the consequences could be catastrophic. Moreover, the risk is rising due to increases in both reentries and flights. In response, national authorities may choose to preemptively close airspace during reentry events; some have already done so. We determine the probability for a rocket body reentry within airspace over a range of air traffic densities. The highest-density regions, around major airports, have a 0.8% chance per year of being affected by an uncontrolled reentry. This rate rises to 26% for larger but still busy areas of airspace, such as that found in the northeastern United States, northern Europe, or around major cities in the Asia-Pacific region. For a given reentry, the collision risk in the underlying airspace increases with the air traffic density. However, the economic consequences of flight delays also increase should that airspace be closed. This situation puts national authorities in a dilemma—to close airspace or not—with safety and economic implications either way. The collision risk could be mitigated if controlled reentries into the ocean were required for all missions. However, over 2300 rocket bodies are already in orbit and will eventually reenter in an uncontrolled manner. Airspace authorities will face the challenge of uncontrolled reentries for decades to come.

Just days before the crash, #Trump enacted a sweeping shake-up of #FederalAgencies responsible for #aviation #oversight, removing the #TSA admin, David Pekoske, & eliminating ALL members of a key aviation #security advisory group. The #FAA, which regulates airlines & aircraft manufacturers & manages US #airspace, was also w/o leadership at the time of the crash, its top ofcl, Michael Whitaker, stepped down ahead of the new admin’s transition after clashing w/ #ElonMusk.
