The CAA has notified the interested parties of the decision taken.On May 18 2021 after evaluating the information at its disposal and concluding that the use of Israeli airspace poses a threat to civil aircraft the CAA recommended that Latvian airlines not operate flights to Israeli airports as well as not to use Israeli airspace for overflights to other destinations.
