Why book

The London to Taipei routing sits near several monitored airspace areas but does not currently cross active conflict zones. Before booking, check with China Airlines and official sources about how this route navigates around the Russian airspace closure and Central Asian congestion areas.

The catch

Very few backup paths if this route is disrupted

Worth knowing

Monitor updates on the Russian airspace closure and Central Asian congestion status before your flight. Verify current routing and any potential delays with your airline closer to travel.

This routing avoids the most severe disruption zones affecting Asian corridors right now, though it operates closer to warning areas than some southern alternatives. The northern path through Central Asia keeps it adjacent to congestion, making it moderately ranked on this corridor.

Route dependency Some

Russian airspace is closed to most European and North American airlines, which is why this journey takes the path it does.
