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?

- bradleyjg 5y agoSeveral of them did, yes.
- toyg 5y agoQuite a few of them yes, looks like. The other threads has actually flight paths posted that clearly show that.
- iso1631 5y agoMany 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.
- bidirectional 5y agoThe linked tweet is a follow-up to an earlier tweet showing several airlines did just that.
