This routing currently avoids active disruption zones, which ranks it better than alternatives that cross warning areas in Central Asia. However, monitor the Russian closure status, as rerouting patterns can change your actual flight path.
Nonstop flights on this corridor historically overflew Russian airspace on polar routes. Since the February 2022 closure, aircraft reroute south through Central Asia, adding up to two hours and increasing congestion on the Central Asian Corridor.

This route depends on the Central Asian Corridor, which carries significantly higher traffic since the Russian airspace closure forced airlines to reroute south. Congestion can affect on-time performance.
