Originally posted by Bon View PostIt seems like more and more SQ flights from Europe are taking a northerly route over Russia before turning south towards China and Southeast Asia. Both SQ319 And SQ321 are currently on this path as did SQ323 and SQ351 earlier.

And the whole of tonight's westward bank -- also LH, BA, SR, AY, AF -- is routing via the Gulf...as did all previous westward flights.
Very, very unusual for flights ex-LHR to southeast Asia to route via Siberia: adds considerable flight time (45 -- 50 minutes delay).

The delay was not insignificant - we arrived 90 minutes later than scheduled due to the detour. A routing via Siberia, if it's "only" 45-50 minutes delay, would have been preferable!

SINGAPORE: Singapore Airlines (SIA) is among some global airlines that are rerouting flights to avoid Iran-controlled airspace over the Strait of Hormuz and Gulf of Oman, it said on Friday (Jun 21), after the US aviation regulator barred its carriers from the area until further notice.
