Bangkok to europe flights cancelled

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Don’t want a repeat of the downing of an airline like in Ukraine/Russia.

At mo they can still be booked online on some sites. this could be good. they will have to reroute you at a time and route to suit you, but you will not get any compensation under EU261 because this really is beyone their control.

You could still try via Middle East, or Hong Kong. Those all overfly different areas.

You cannot get to the middle east from here without overflying pakistan. Roiutes via china are ok, they use chinese airspce. Read the BBC story. Other airlines are rerouting around but tta means fliybs over iran and extra refuelling stops for scoot which goes non stop to athens fro sgn

Weird that they close the whole pakistani airspace and the indian is operating normally except for kashmir.
I mean Karachi is like 1500km away from the area where they are fighting.
