Airspace warnings · Flight options

This direct Central Asian corridor avoids the major warning area that affects some alternative routings through other regions. It remains one of the clearer options on this long-haul corridor at present.

  • Central Asian corridor (Kazakhstan/Uzbekistan FIRs) — open but EASA-monitored.
  • Iran airspace avoided on this routing — stays north of IRI FIR.
  • Cathay Pacific provides 3 daily departures with strong rebooking options.
  • Fastest geometry: ~11h direct versus 13h+ for Gulf alternatives.
Route dependency Some

The Russian airspace closure rerouted this corridor through Central Asia, significantly lengthening the journey. If Russian airspace status changes, this route's path and duration would need re-review.
