Re: Bangkok to europe flights cancelled
well you could go vis australia, fiji, usa uk and so on. The normal flight route from se asia is through the conflict zone. 800 flights a day cannot all use the alternate routes though sri lanka and mubai. Thai airways was late to the party and there is no more room. Bo idea who else is affected so bad. Dcoot and singapore are adding extra refuelling stops .chiltern wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 4:24 pmSrilankan Airlinespczz wrote: ↑Thu Feb 28, 2019 10:49 amYou cannot get to the middle east from here without overflying pakistan.

all the china airlines fly to Europe over china
and thai is now using Chinese airspace
and thai is now using Chinese airspace
THAI usually flies over Pakistan’s airspace when going to or returning from Europe, but after the closure, the carrier had asked for authorisation to fly over China’s airspace, the airline said yesterday.
Flight Lieutenant Pratana Patanasiri, THAI’s vice president for aviation safety, security and standards, said the national carrier has received permission from authorities to fly over China. However, he said, the permission was granted on a daily basis, so the airline needs to update the situation daily.
Also, he said, flying over China actually cuts the flying time down by 20 minutes.

I wonder why that is. The distance is exactly the same. Maybe the speed?

Re: Bangkok to europe flights cancelled
possibly. The story was Thai was abit slow getting in the game and the southern routes round pakistan were full. Diverting over china makes sense if the chinese will play.Jamie_Lambo wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2019 12:21 pm im flying to London with Thai Airways tonight, had loads of people telling me about this the other night, think all routes have been re-routed through China airspace and running as scheduled
Also i was booking a flight while this was going on and all the cheap flights disappeared. Presume prices when up with everyon chasing replacements fro Thai Airways cock up and also extra flying hours to avoid the conflict zone.
