Goes through a warning area
Route assessed 12d ago
LHR–DXB–PEK adds advisory zone exposure on the first leg and routes significantly further south before going north to Beijing. Longer and more airspace-exposed than the direct Central Asian option. Use only as a contingency when Central Asian corridor restrictions are confirmed active.
