Interpretation

The direct communication line between Ankara and Nicosia ACCs has been shut down by Turkey, preventing direct communication and coordination. Aircraft entering Nicosia FIR from Ankara FIR must contact Nicosia ACC 10 minutes before entry and provide their callsign, flight level and estimated time over the entry point. For TOMBI, use 125.505 MHz above FL345 or 128.080 MHz below FL345; for VESAR and DOREN, use 126.305 MHz above FL345 or 123.550 MHz below FL345. Aircraft entering Ankara FIR from Nicosia FIR must pass flight details to Ankara ACC before entry.
