rxpharm Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 I'm not so sure they will go ahead. The airlines pay a fee to Russia for the shorter route over the Russia, so that means even less income on top of the sanctions already. However, it won't mean cancelled flights, it will mean more expensive flights if the Russians go ahead. After all during the cold war, all airlines avoided Russian airspace, they would have to return to those routes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woofer1 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Can always fly Cathay Pacific, Origin HK Airline, or Middle East Airlines with a stopover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
