The General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) of the United Arab Emirates has condemned the reckless manner in which two Qatari fighter jets, dangerously approached two UAE-registered commercial airplanes, while flying over the Bahraini air space on Monday, in a flagrant and serious threat to the civil aviation and air navigation safety. The pilot of one airplane had to do an emergency maneuver to avoid colliding with the Qatari jets. In a statement issues on Monday, the GCAA said it was not the first time that such a "provocative" act was carried out. Two similar acts were committed before and were reported to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). "The GCAA condemns such irresponsible acts against civilian air traffic on regular, scheduled service on flight-path known to ICAO and reiterates the UAE right to take all necessary actions, granted by the international law," it added.
