Flight Information Region (FIR)

A Flight Information Region (FIR) is a specific geographical area of airspace designated by an authority, where flight information and search and rescue services are coordinated and provided. It helps organize and manage the safe and efficient movement of aircraft by ensuring pilots receive important information about weather, traffic, and emergencies within that zone. FIR boundaries are defined internationally, often based on geography and air traffic control jurisdictions, and are essential for maintaining safety and order in global airspace management.
