Conflict-Zone Risk Assessment and Airspace Disruption Management

Language: English, French

Duration:

3 days

About the course

Conflict-zone risks and sudden airspace restrictions can affect flight safety, schedules, costs, and regional connectivity. Aviation organisations need clear processes for assessing changing information, making timely decisions, coordinating with relevant authorities and service providers, and managing the operational effects of disruption.

This three-day course introduces a structured approach to conflict-zone risk assessment and airspace disruption management. Participants will work through aviation scenarios involving airspace restrictions, rapidly changing threat information, GNSS interference, and route disruption. The course focuses on risk assessment, operational decision-making, coordination, and contingency planning. It does not provide real-time threat intelligence or replace an organisation’s approved operational procedures.
