EASA issues SIB after Russian missile attacks on Syria

As a result of Russia’s missile attack on Syrian rebel targets on Wednesday 7th October, the European Aviation Safety Association (EASA) has issued a Safety Information Bulletin (SIB) based on publically available information addressed to “national aviation authorities and aircraft operators.”
The missiles, 26 in number, were launched from four Russian warships based in the Caspian Sea at 11 specific targets. The flight path of the missiles took them through airspace in the north west of Iran, across Iraq, and then into Syria, according to a map supplied by the Russian defense ministry.
The EASA made it clear the missiles were “below flight routes which are used by commercial transport airplanes.” The Kalibr missiles, which employ a terrain-based guidance system, usually fly at an altitude of only a few hundred feet above the ground. In this incident several were filmed flying in daylight at low altitude across Iraq.
However the EASA indicated it has “no specific recommendations” on the issue, publishing the SIB purely “to inform airspace users about the hazard. EASA will amend this SIB if more specific information is received related to that situation.”
The EASA was formed in 2002 and ratified in July 2003. It reached its current level of functionality in 2008 when it took over the role of the Joint Aviation Authorities (JAA).
