Due to the ongoing crisis situation in the Middle East, HSCA will apply JNUS to impacted airports for flight cancellations, on a 6-week rolling basis. The end date remains to be determined.
- Most impacted airports: AMM, AUH, BAH, BEY, BGW, DAM, DOH, DWC, DXB, EBL, IKA, KWI, RUH, SHJ, THR, TLV.
Το JNUS θα εφαρμόζεται στις ακόλουθες περιπτώσεις:
- Αεροδρόμια που επηρεάζονται άμεσα, δηλαδή είναι κλειστά και/ή ο αντίστοιχος εναέριος χώρος είναι κλειστός.
- Αεροδρόμια που ανοίγουν προσωρινά ή είναι ανοιχτά αλλά με πολύ περιορισμένες λειτουργίες.
- Airports that, although being open, are located in countries/regions where military action is taking place and for which an EASA recommendation “not to operate within the affected airspace” (see: https://www.easa.europa.eu/en/domains/air-operations/czibs).
All other cases involving serious disturbance of operations at affected airports will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
- Based on a case-by-case evaluation a shortage of aviation fuel should be accepted as ground for JNUS if the flight cancellation is a direct result of the shortage and if sufficient evidence is provided by the air carrier (e.g. document by public authorities/regulators, airport or fuel supplier).
Alleviation should be granted for the period that the requirement to reduce operations (due to aviation fuel shortage) remains in place plus a six-week recovery period for a resumption of services. Depending on the circumstances, cases of aviation fuel shortage can be seen to fall under Art. 10 para. 4 (a) 2nd dash (partial closure of an airport) or Art. 10 para. 4 (a) 3rd dash Slot Regulation (serious disturbance of operations).
A rise in aviation fuel prices cannot be considered as a reason for JNUS.
The same applies to other consequences of the conflict, which are not covered by the Slot Regulation such as a decline in demand, although detrimental to airlines.
