O'Leary: Continues to fly his plane over the same route the very next day because passengers didn't buy the "anti kidnap" add-on https://twitter.com/flightrada

  Airlines can't just fly their planes off on whatever windy route over Europe they feel like. Did all the other airlines start avoiding Belarus Airspace?

    Several of them did, yes.

    Quite a few of them yes, looks like. The other threads has actually flight paths posted that clearly show that.

    Many did. And no they can't "just do it". The hijacking was yesterday, the Ryanair flight took off from Pathos today. They can file a flightpath avoiding Belarus. Maybe it would be 100 miles longer rather than 50, adding 15 minutes to the journey, and a few extra dollars to the gas bill. Very poor judgement.

    The linked tweet is a follow-up to an earlier tweet showing several airlines did just that.
