  • Flight path "dented" over India/Pakistan border

    Hi! Looking at flights from Bkk/Hkt/Bkv bound to northern Europe and reverse, they never fly in a straight path when crossing the border between India and Pakistan. I'm just curious to why. Is it some ground threat they want to avoid? For the same reason there are no flights over eastern Ukraine these days.
    Does anybody know the exact reason?

    Eastern Ukraine is out of government control since 2014. As you maybe aware flight MH17 AMS - KUL was shot down there by russian missile on 17/07/2014. Since then all of the Europe-to-Asia traffic has been moved to the northern Turkey - you can see huge congestion corridor over there for now

      Hi! I'm aware of that Russian crime. That made me wonder if there was any similar threat from the ground at India/Pakistan border. ISIS, Al-Qaida or taliban threat for example.
      I did some more Google research and a possible reason seems to be that the airforces (India or Pakistan) in the region simply want that particular airspace to themselves. But I don't know.

        Hi
        I found this "Prohibited airspace" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibited_airspace

          Airspace disagreements between Pakistan and India.
