Routing used in UN Ops
Hi
During the UN period in Eritrea, they had us cleared to fly from Asmara on the route UB526 towards intersection Tesot,(south of Massawa,) then turn onto W180 down the Eritrean coast via Assab, then on A451/UA451,seawards to intersection Parim , then on G667/UG667 to Djibouti. It will be prudent to have flotation-gear & a EPIB.
It seemed a good idea to keep well clear of Yemeni airspace on the east side of the Red Sea, as well as the 'hot' border between Eritrea & Ethiopia west of Assab.
Maybe you could obtain a clearance to fly from Djibouti via Dire Dawa to Nairobi?
That's shorter and avoids the weather & altitude of Addis Abeba.
I would NOT try to fly from Luxor to Addis for the reasons stated ( the Learjet as an example). Both Eritrean & Ethiopian Air Forces have missile equipped fighters able to tackle anything.
When landing at Asmara, only land on runway 07/25 as the other one is military-controlled & you'll be apprehended for using that one!
What is the range/speed of the plane you're flying?
Happy landings.
