Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what Notices to Airmen were in force relating to flights over and through Ukrainian airspace at the time of the destruction of flight MH17.
Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) were in force over two areas of Ukrainian airspace on Thursday 17 July. One related to the disputed Crimean airspace, which has been in place for several months. A second was in place over Eastern Ukraine (the Dnipropetrovsk Flight Information Region), closing airspace below 32,000 feet.
