Until we are allowed to fly through Russia again there's almost no way to get in/out of either Dubai or Mumbai. If Trump were to end the war in Ukrain on Day One, like he promised, then maybe we could operate to Mumbai. Dubai still has some issues with other no fly zones.

After that Malaysian 777 was shot down over the Crimean peninsula we started going way to the west, through Saudi Arabia and then up through Egypt but now much of that airspace is showing No Fly due to the war in Israel.
