The US aviation agency has barred all civil aircrafts from flying above the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf of Oman that is a part of Iranian airspace, noting that “numerous” planes were in the area when a US drone was shut down.
The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) claims the nearest civil aircraft was flying some 45 nautical miles (51 mi) from the US Navy high-altitude drone shot down by Iran’s air defenses on Thursday morning.
This would mostly affect flights going from North America to Asia eastwards.
