The Kuwait Flight Information Region (FIR), with the ICAO code "OKAC," is a specific area of airspace where air traffic control services, including flight information and alerting services, are provided, encompassing Kuwait's airspace.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
What is a Flight Information Region (FIR)? An FIR is a designated area of airspace where air traffic control services are provided, ensuring safe and efficient flight operations.
Kuwait's FIR: Kuwait's airspace is organized within a single FIR, with the ICAO code "OKAC".
ICAO and FIRs: The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) delegates the operational control of a given FIR to a specific country or group of countries.
Purpose of FIRs: FIRs are the largest regular division of airspace in use today, and they provide flight information and alerting services to aircraft within their boundaries.
UIR: Over a FIR, there is a defined UIR (Upper Information Region) which covers flight levels above FL245.
