Based on official airspace warnings · checked 4h ago · How this works
Full breakdown →Lufthansa and China Eastern both fly Frankfurt to Shanghai nonstop via the Central Asian corridor. Post-2022, this route is approximately 1.5–2 hours longer than pre-2022 schedules. The Central Asian corridor is the main direct option and carries only peripheral proximity to the warning area — no active zone transit.
