European Air Safety Body Backs Resuming Commercial Flights Over Crimea - WSJ (http://www.wsj.com/articles/european-air-safety-body-backs-resuming-commercial-flights-over-crimea-1455733881)

Any further info?

It may be more accurate to say that EASA is continuing to evaluate the region, and that they have evaluated some additional measures effected by the Ukraine. I cannot access the WSJ article, but if they are saying that EASA supports resuming overflights, that may be a bit of a stretch. My impression is that EASA is continuing their evaluation of the region.

Presumably Russia would prevent any incidents in Russian airspace, which would include Crimea.
Sadly the risk once west of Crimea might be quite different.
A route that passengers might choose to avoid.
