Data position: AIRSPACE/SECURITY HOLD
Runway unknown; Airspace corridor access and security risk assessment outstanding
What is not yet proven: 2016–2025 actual route winds, two-way validated IFR paths, OEM trip fuel and A220 runway performance.
The airport evidence makes this a research candidate, not an operating or safety approval.

Explore the landscape
Its role as a global crossroads makes it interesting, but current airspace and operating assessment takes priority in route research.
Why we are studying it
On hold pending a precise airspace and security assessment. Current EASA advice concerns specific flight information regions or defined sectors; airport geography alone cannot establish an available route.
Airspace and security hold · 2,596.6 NM · Technical research, not an operational authorization or promise of service.
