If there are more NOTAMs and airspace closures in the region happening, you can tell things are about to go down. For the moment QR and EK are traversing the region like its business as usual Something tells me Israel either not give a warning, or will issue a backchannel one, with those countries ...

It's insane to see the volume of traffic over Saudi, the Persian Gulf, and the Gulf of Oman right now. 0615Z 14-Apr-2024.
Jump to postIranian airspace is effectively closed for many operators, even before this escalation. Right now only Air Arabia, Fly Dubai, Emirates, Air China, Qanot Sharq, EVA, Turkish, Air India, and PIA have aircraft in OIIX/THR FIR. That list isn't much different from a few hours ago. Even Qatar is staying ...
Jump to postIf you check now, the flight took a sharp turn towards the East, and is now following the same path as all other flights. Maybe GPS jamming on the Western Iran side is impacting FR 24.

Jump to postCorrect. The only flights that are impacted at this time are US West Coast-Persian Gulf flights as those use Iranian and Russian Airspace at times. Already, Qatar has added a tech stop at JFK for its LAX-DOH flight tonight. I expect the SFO flight to have the same issue on tomorrow's flight. I don'...

Jump to postIranian airspace is effectively closed for many operators, even before this escalation. A big reason for that was economic sanctions and the inability to pay airspace overflight fees, plus diplomatic issues if an aircraft had to make an emergency landing in Tehran, not necessarily safety reasons.

Jump to postWhy is only the Sinai area of Egypt open? Can't they traverse pretty much the rest of Egypt? Maybe just the areas of the Sinai close to Israel? Guys, there's not much traffic in Egypt west of Alexandria on a normal day anyway. Traffic heading west to Libya is minimal. Libyan airspace is nogo for mo...
Jump to postThis will really impact India to Europe/USA Not really. India to Europe/USA doesn’t use Iranian airspace. They transit the ‘Stans, Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. All those airspaces are still open. Northern and eastern Iranian airspace is still open as well. This isn’t all doom and gloom. At least...

Jump to postYou can clearly see the elevator up at 0:12 as the nose wheel is already 4-6 feet in the air. (The pitch up command started earlier, but from the camera angle it's hard to see the elevator position before 0:12.) From 0:21-0:22 the elevator looks neutral. The nose pitches down during 0:22, but the el...
Jump to postAt the risk of being a cynic, so much of MJ's success was the over-the-top visual production coupled with the ascendant MTV, media blitz, and the work of Quincy Jones. It's similar to Taylor Swift and Beyoncé, just substitute MTV for social media. He (or his team) drove so much of that branding, ju...

Jump to postIt would be amazingly disruptive to the ME3, who utilize Iranian airspace regularly. Iraqi airspace would be "conditional" as well, as long as an Israel-Iran conflict were ongoing. It would devastate the ME3's flights to Europe and North America.
