This trip crosses 3 of the 19 airspace warning areas we track, and no volcanic ash advisory covers its airports.

This direct routing normally crosses Russian airspace as the shortest path. With that airspace closed, the airline may be using alternative corridors through Central Asia, which are experiencing congestion from rerouted traffic.
The European part of this journey passes near the Ukraine conflict zone. If that airspace changes, the options on this corridor can change with it.
