The Red Sea has been a hotbed of activity, with ongoing conflict in Sudan since April 2023 and a series of attacks by Yemeni Houthis on ships linked to Israel amid the ongoing war in Gaza.
Air France has taken the unusual step of suspending all
flights over the Red Sea "until further notice" following reports of a "luminous object" observed by crew members during a flight over Sudan on Sunday night, November 3.
In a statement shared by French media, the airline cited the volatile
security situation in the region as a primary concern.
Air France has adjusted some flight routes and forced others to turn back to their origins.
While the airspace over the Red Sea has not been officially closed, Air France remains the only airline to implement such a preventative measure.
