Air France Suspends Flights Over Red Sea After Luminous Object Sighting

Airline Cites Safety Concerns

Air France has suspended flights over the Red Sea after a luminous object was sighted in the area. The airline said in a statement that the decision was made "as a precautionary measure" after the sighting was reported by its pilots. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has since issued a warning to airlines operating in the area, advising them to exercise caution.

The luminous object was reportedly seen by Air France pilots on a flight from Paris to Mauritius on Tuesday night. The pilots reported that the object was bright and appeared to be moving at a high speed. They were unable to identify what the object was, but said that it appeared to be about the size of a small plane.

Investigation Underway

An investigation into the sighting is now underway. The Egyptian Civil Aviation Authority (ECAA) has sent a team of investigators to the area to search for any debris or other evidence. The EASA is also assisting in the investigation.

The sighting of the luminous object has raised concerns about the safety of flights over the Red Sea. The area is a popular route for flights between Europe and Asia, and any disruption to air traffic could have a significant impact on the global aviation industry.

Air France is not the only airline to report a sighting of a luminous object in the Red Sea in recent months. In December, a British Airways pilot reported seeing a similar object while flying over the area. The pilot said that the object was "bright and fast-moving" and that it appeared to be "glowing."
