Active conflict. Ukrainian and Belarusian airspace fully closed to commercial aviation. All carriers avoid this region without exception.
Full NOTAM closure since February 2022. No commercial aviation transits Ukraine or Belarus. Flights that previously used these corridors to reach Turkey, the Middle East, or further east now route around the southern boundary of the closure, adding modest but consistent time to journeys from central and northern Europe.
