If you planned to go from Europe to Asia, flying over the mpiddle east, you might want to reconsider.

Damn it feels good to be Australian

fearmongering bullshit

commercial airplanes already fly around Iran and Israel
depending on the missile type, but the typically airplane flight height of ~10km is way above them anyway
and it's not like air defense / missiles randomly! hit airplanes (cases in the past were deliberate)

You can literally sit and drink beers in a rooftop bar and watch the missles.
No one fucking cares.
Australians are the biggest fucking cucks I swear. Constantly caring about the illusion of safety while consuming some of the highest levels of antidepressants on earth along with suicide rates basically triple of the surrounding countries on this map.

Why?

>>2794937
>that massive empty space in Western China
>Why?
that's the Tibetan Plateau
and multiple reasons

Chinese airspace is... quite interesting in itself
>only allow flying on narrow corridors
the majority of airspace is reserved for government / military use
which makes for some really weirdly shaped, longer and more busy routes

but it's also dangerous flying over the Himalaya
in case of an depressurization event, airplanes need to fly down to ~3km
but the tibetan plateau has an average height of ~4,5km
which makes this impossible

also generally less room / time for error
if you have to glide or anything else happens with your turbines
you're awfully close to the mountain tops

the other technical reason
are weird upward wind currents
ranging from mild annoyance / turbulence to passenger getting thrown around

also suitable emergency airports are far away
typical ETOPS would allow it
but again, increased floor height to ~4,5km makes it more dangerous

>>2794939
Ah that makes sense, sorry I'm retarded

>>2794936
I was talking about the fact I don't need to fly over the middle east to go to Asia you triggered little bitch

June 25th I'll be spending the night in Sharjah on my way from Malaysia to Poland. Whatever happens, happens.
