This direct routing avoids the most congested alternatives on the Asia corridor right now. Other paths through Central Asia are being monitored for congestion, making the British Airways–Air China connection a less complicated option at the moment.
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.
