Abstract
The Greek-Turkish differences relating to the control of international aviation (Flight Information Regions (FIRs)) and NATO’s operational control in the Aegean are not self-standing differences, but are byproducts of the other disputes in the Aegean. This by no means implies that these two disputes have not been a cause of anguish to both parties. The first in particular is very costly, because, as with Greek national airspace, it involves interceptions and dogfights, with the occasional airplane crash.
