Air India has diverted to Krasno and Magadan both in the past year or so High net worth US citizens CEO, Politicians might be under orders to avoid soviet airpsce completely lest they are "detained" under some trumped up charges Sad as we have been planning on expanding west coast to India market (Bangalore)since before Covid |

I would double check your accuracy on this statement. The great circle route does put you into Russian airspace and the Northern pacific winds often push the optimum route even further north and deeper into Russia.

These people are a problem looking for a place to happen. The vax thing … whatever it’s debatable but these people have long track records of pure nonsense hanging on them. The lawyers are buying their 4th house off of Alpa dues dollars and are more than happy to drag out the chaos.
