Better Late Than Never -- FAA Advises Extreme Caution Over Belarus

26 year old Journalist Raman Pratasevich Is Being Held After His Kidnapping From Ryanair Flight

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued an alert advising U.S. passenger airlines to exercise extreme caution while flying over Belarus.

Following worldwide condemnation by pilot's groups and countries alike, after Belarus faked a bomb scare in order to force an airliner down to arrest a dissident, the FAA is belatedly joining in the condemnation. Journalist Raman Pratasevich,  and his girlfriend, was detained by the Belarusian government last Sunday. Belarus Leader/Dictator/President Alexander Lukashenko who recently won re-election with a suspiciously large majority of the contested vote, presided over a sham trial in which Pratasevich was convicted of various crimes in absentia.

The FAA’s Notice to Airmen says airlines should continue to exercise extreme caution until the agency can better assess Belarus’ actions surrounding the May 23 diversion of a passenger jet and the potential for Belarus to repeat similar actions in the future.

The FAA is working closely with other U.S. agencies to determine whether any additional measures may be necessary, and will evaluate an international investigation report to determine the risks for U.S. passenger airlines flying in that area.
