The corridor is open, and no aviation authority has issued a warning for it. Many flights between Europe and Asia now cross this strip of airspace, between Russia, which is closed to most Western airlines, and the warning area over Iran. We show it so you can see which trips depend on it.
No EASA or FAA notice
Since Russian airspace closed to most Western airlines and a warning area came to cover Iran, many flights between Europe and Asia that do not go via the Gulf pass over Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. That makes these trips depend on one narrow corridor. It is open, and no aviation authority advises against flying here. We have no current figures on delays, so we do not give any.
