Why book

AMS–SYD via Hong Kong. The Amsterdam departure heads northeast over Central Asian FIRs to HKG (airspace_score 1), then Cathay Pacific continues SYD. Central Asian FIR monitoring required on the AMS–HKG leg. HKG–SYD is advisory-clean over the South China Sea and Pacific approaches.

The catch

Very few backup paths if this route is disrupted

Worth knowing

Central Asian FIRs (Kazakhstan UAAA, Uzbekistan UTTT) on AMS–HKG leg — EASA-monitored. HKG–SYD is advisory-clean.
