EU aviation regulator wants to improve coordination
It wants to set up a European alert system to process information about conflict zones
[BRUSSELS] European safety regulators called on Wednesday for better coordination of information about threats to aviation after the downing of flight MH17 in July.
The destruction of MH17 by a missile suspected by Ukraine and the West of having been launched by pro-Russian rebels has raised questions about the quality of information available to airlines flying over conflict zones.
"We are proposing to set up a European alert system to process information about conflict zones and make recommendations to airlines," Patrick Ky, executive director of the European Aviation Safety Agency, the aviation regulator for the 28-nation European Union, told Reuters.
