The European Union Aviation Safety Authority (EASA) has posted an updated Conflict Zone Information Bulletin (CZIB) that tells airlines travelling to or from Europe to avoid Iranian airspace until at least the end of the month. Published on 7 July, the latest bulletin notes that – following recent military action taken by Israel and the USA against Iran, and the retaliatory strikes – a rapid re-emergence of the conflict could occur with little warning. The Iranian authorities have taken measures to address airspace risks with temporary airspace closures and restrictions, but EASA warns that "a sudden resumption of hostilities, due to their unpredictable nature, could pose challenges to the timely and effective implementation of such measures". It says Iran is likely to maintain "elevated alert levels for its air force and air defense units nationwide, particularly in light of the potential for further ad-hoc military actions from their adversaries". EASA also highlights the risk of miscalculation and/or misidentification of civilian aircraft in Iranian airspace. On 13 June, the agency issued a CZIB telling airlines to avoid the airspace of Iran, Iraq, Israel, Jordan and Lebanon amid the conflict with Iran. This wider CZIB was revised on 30 June and withdrawn on 7 July. The closure of Iran has added to the problems faced by airlines travelling between Europe, the Middle East and Asia, as large chunks of airspace in each region are now off-limits. Ukrainian airspace has been closed to all civilian air operators since the war began there in 2022. Russian airspace closed to Western operators soon afterwards. Meanwhile, Pakistani airspace has been closed to Indian carriers since hostilities broke out between the two countries earlier this year. Flight-tracking data shows aircraft travelling up the Persian Gulf and over Iraq and Türkiye to reach Europe or flying across Saudi Arabia and north to the Mediterranean via Egypt.

Boeing delivered 60 commercial aircraft and booked 116 gross orders in June. Last month's deliveries comprised 42 737 Max jets, nine 787s, four 777 Freighters, two 767Fs and three 767-based KC-46 tankers, Boeing data shows. The US airframer highlights it delivered eight aircraft to customers in China. Deliveries to the nation had previously been suspended amid tensions over the US government's newly imposed trade tariffs. Fleet data shows that of the 42 Max jets delivered in June, three had first flown in 2019, one in 2021, and one in 2022. Year-to-date deliveries had reached 280 aircraft at 30 June, comprising 209 737s (including three P-8A maritime patrol aircraft), 37 787s,14 767s and 20 777s. Boeing notes that first-half figure of 280 and the second quarter's 150 represented the highest delivery volumes for the periods since 2018. During the first half of 2024, Boeing delivered 175 aircraft: 137 737s (including two P-8As), 22 787s, nine 767s and seven 777s. Boeing's 116 gross orders in June 2025 included 42 Max jets and 30 787s for unidentified customers. Alaska Airlines additionally placed a follow-on order of 12 Max jets, and Boeing booked 32 787s for British Airways, which the airline's parent IAG had disclosed in May. Singapore Airlines cancelled three Max orders. Boeing in June moved 43 orders from its backlog to the ASC 606 accounting category, an adjustment to recognise that not all orders lead to deliveries. Combined with the three cancellations, this meant that the 116 gross orders translated to 70 net orders. On 30 June, Boeing's year-to-date gross tally was 668. Factoring in 43 cancellations/conversions and, in the opposite direction, an ASC 606 adjustment of 51, net orders came in at 676.

The Estonian government has outlined a strategy to bolster the country’s air connectivity by prioritising the development of Tallinn airport, while opting against acquiring a stake in Latvia’s Air Baltic on the same terms as Lufthansa. Kuldar Leis, Estonia’s minister of infrastructure, told a cabinet meeting on 3 July that as Air Baltic is undergoing management changes, stabilising its financial results and developing a future strategy, the current offer is unsuitable. "When Air Baltic’s business plan is clearer, we can reconsider the purchase," he is quoted by the government as saying. Lufthansa is taking a 10% convertible share to hold minimum stake of 5% after the Riga-based airline’s IPO, which is expected to take place this year. Estonia’s focus will instead be on growing its own flight connections and passenger numbers from Tallinn, which Leis said would support the country’s economy. Air Baltic holds nearly 30% market share at Tallinn airport’s market share, the Estonian government notes. To enhance Tallinn airport’s role as a regional hub, the government has outlined three key initiatives: to develop a program to support the growth of critical air routes, to freeze fares at the airport for the next three years to provide stability, and expand its Tallinn’s passenger terminal. A more detailed plan to boost investment at the airport will be published in the fourth quarter of this year. According to Minister of Infrastructure Leis, ensuring the country's air connections is strategically important. "The acquisition of Air Baltic's shareholding is a weighty decision that will have a long-term impact on the country's air connections, transport infrastructure and the state's financial efficiency. In order to make such an investment, the state must have a very clear picture in front of it," Leis explained.
