The instability of the Middle East and Eastern Europe solved the path of the global aircraft carrier.
And despite the discontinuance of the bombing against Aran at the end of June, the puzzles faced by many airline operating teams will not soon be easier.
Currently, most airlines avoid the airspace and continue to change the path that flies north through Turkey through Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The transition was added to the more crowded flight corridor due to the closure of the Ukrainian airspace in 2022 and the closure of the Russian airspace of the western aircraft carrier.
Airlines facing limited choices often have to fly longer paths and reduce flexibility due to the problem of dealing with more congested sky.
KEITH Glatz, vice president of A4A (A4A), said, “If you are thinking about the six -lane highway, you basically spread all traffic through two and three lanes.
In the case of US aircraft carriers, Iran’s restrictions dates back to January 2020, when Iran’s Qasem Soleimani, which dates back to January 2020, before the closure of Russia and Ukraine.
The US airline also chose not to fly to Iraq, but the FAA allows as long as it remains at 32,000 feet.
Currently, Flight Risk Database Safe Airspace advises with Russia, Ukraine and other countries to fly to Iran, Israel, Syria and Lebanon.
Cumulative, closure, mostly influenced US airlines’ sidewalks and China routes. The closure of the Russian airspace to and from China can increase the flight time by 2 hours, depending on the path and conditions as the carrier stays south of the ordinary Pacific path routing.
The closure of Russia, which was strengthened by Iran’s closure, caused most US airlines to escape the Indian market. United have canceled three of the four Indian lines since 2022, and the only US aviation route to India is one, respectively, from the United States and United to New York JFK and New Ack to Delhi.
Due to the closure, AMERICAN operates JFK-Delhi across Turkey and shows the flight tracking service Airnav Radar before cutting south to the Indian continent before staying north of Iran and Afghanistan. In contrast, the AIR India was able to fly in the northern part of Scandinavia and northern Greenland until India closed Pakistan’s airspace with Pakistan with Pakistan in early May.
However, Pakistan’s closure first led to adjusting the routing that goes beyond the AIR INDIA Cairean. Then Israel and the United States have since launched a bombing campaign against Iran. AIR INDIA now operates US services through the crowded Saudi Arabia/Egyptian flight corridors and shares the sky with East -West service of Europe and Gulf Airlines. Another popular Iranian corridor for non -US operators cuts north and south from Eastern Iraq in transportation between Türkiye and Persia.
Bob Mann, an industry analyst at RW Mann & Co., said, “It can cause many aviation traffic management problems when spreading a lot of traffic through small corridors.”
One effect is that there may be no options for airlines to greatly change the path to find the best wind conditions.
MANN said, “The need to fly the same corridor in both directions can make quite a few operating punishment.
Alternative
As the mention of GLATZ’s traffic highway lane, airline has another trap with a slow airline throughput. He said that airlines could try to fly a larger flight to alleviate the problem. But whatever the scheduling problem increases.
The flight time increases fuel consumption and increases the difficulty of the crew schedule. In particular, the delay occurs more often due to the provisions of the crew’s mission period.
And Mann makes all these problems affecting the economy of each path, making it not attractive even if the vision is impossible.
“Some of them try, but the cost is so high that the use of equipment, fuel and employees can be canceled.”
Despite all the problems caused by the closure of the airspace, many airlines may not return to the sky of Iran. According to a recent IATA, Nick Careen, the vice president of the trade group, pointed out that in 2020, Iran’s Ukrainian Airlines flight PS752 and December 8243 Azerbaijan Airlines flight 8243 were regarded as down Russian missiles.
He said the second incident was “freshly reminded that the danger of conflict was real.”
CAREEN said, regardless of whether a regulator prohibits airlines flying a region, CAREEN said CAREEN is obliged to carry out its operating risk assessment.
