Air France Reroutes Flights Due to Mysterious Object Over Sudan

Air France has suspended flights over the Red Sea area following reports of an unidentified luminous object in the Sudanese sky.

Air France announced the suspension of flights over the Red Sea region as a precautionary measure after an object was spotted at high altitude.
The decision has affected several flights, leading to rerouted paths and extended travel times for routes such as Paris to Antananarivo and Nairobi.
Some flights were forced to turn back to their departure airports, with new departures planned as soon as possible.
Air France emphasizes that passenger and crew safety is its top priority, and it continuously monitors geopolitical developments in the regions it serves.
The Red Sea area has been unstable since November 2023, with ongoing conflicts involving Houthi attacks on ships perceived as supporting Israel.
