North Korea keen to open Pyongyang FIR to South
Following warming relations between North and South Korea, Pyongyang has rolled out a series of practical reconciliation measures, including opening a new air route to South Korea over the Pyongyang Flight Information Region. North Korea’s General Administration of Civil Aviation tabled the request to the International Civil Aviation Organization in February, which outlined the proposal for the establishment of a new Air Traffic Service (ATS) between Pyongyang and the Incheon FIR. ICAO officials had met with North Korean representatives in Pyongyang to discuss the request, as well as “navigational and safety matters.” Seoul’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport also has taken the request under review. The two countries have not maintained an established flight route between them since the armistice in 1953. <br/>
