The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Council has agreed to estabilish a Doha Flight Information Region (FIR) and Doha Search and Rescue Region (SRR) drawing on Qatar’s proposal. This would include Qatar’s sovereign airspace and, to optimize safety and efficiency of the regional airspace, other contiguous airspace over the high seas.

Both Qatar and Bahrain were invited by the ICAO Council, as well as surrounding States with an interest in this matter, to discuss cooperatively under the auspices of the President of the Council, to agree on appropriate technical arrangements for the implementation of the Doha FIR/SRR, and to report the outcome of these discussions to the Council at its 224th Session for approval of the amendment of the Air Navigation Plan – Middle East Region.

The proposal of Qatar also included its intention to withdraw from the current arrangement whereby it has delegated to Bahrain the provision of air navigation services over its sovereign territory in accordance with the Chicago Convention.

The Council acknowledged during its meeting the right of Qatar to request the establishment of a Doha FIR/SRR over its sovereign territory and contiguous airspace consistent with Article 1 of the Chicago Convention and in accordance with Assembly Resolution A40-4, Appendix G.

The proposal of Qatar aims to support the development of safe and sustainable air transport operations in the region, and reinforces Qatar’s commitments to the global aviation sector.
