Four active airspace restrictions — plus one congestion corridor over Central Asia — affect Europe–Asia flights today. See which routings cross the Iranian advisory zone, which stay clear, and how to compare them.
Four airspace restrictions currently shape long-haul routes between Europe, the Gulf, and Asia — plus a congestion corridor over Central Asia that adds its own delays. The restriction travellers feel most is the Iranian Airspace Advisory, which touches 65 of the routes we track. The hardest-hit corridor is Europe to India via Istanbul, where routings pass through the advisory area. On almost every affected pair, alternatives exist that stay clear of known warning areas — usually via Dubai or the Gulf corrid
These routes are most affected by the current Middle East airspace restrictions.
