India Routes
 

What is the current status of our two B-777 India trips?

Is the FAA still telling air carriers to avoid Iranian airspace?

How does this effect earnings/bottom line?

Any other carriers affected by FAA order to avoid Iranian airspace?

Has the Dept. of State said anything recently?

-asking because my google search doesn't yield any current information.

United has suspended all India flying through September 1. The Pakistan airspace is still closed and that’s been going on longer then the Iran issue. So wouldn’t be surprised to see it pushed to October.

The FAA order only affects US airlines and since no other US airline flies to India, UAL is the only one affected as far as I know.

Hard to say on profitability, those planes have been repurposed in the domestic market helping to cover the MaX debacle. So maybe neutral? And due to international rules, they can’t change aircraft in a international market without approval. So a 777-200 route can’t just become a 777-300 route at United’s whim.

Mass transit is quite/quiet popular there/their/they're.

Southern Air flys BAH-HKG so they have to route a bit farther south. Atlas also does some Middle East to Asia flying so they also have to avoid the area. Probably not a big deal when you balance the overflight fees versus the longer flight times. FedEx used to go to India, not sure if they still do. And UPS goes to India but I seem to recall them coming down through the -stans from Europe.

Those windows are covered with correlated metal. I assume they are running the train IFR. 🤪

Oh, you think that train actually goes anywhere?

This is helping the ME3 as they can(and are) connecting India to the West through their hubs.

Gotta love auto correct that "fixes" corrugated to correlated, why not collated?

Totally forgot about the cargo stuff. So back to the OP, yes others are affected.

Looks like the Go Transit Kitchener line from Toronto
