  • route question

    Hi, was curious why a private jet leaving Mecca would bother going all the way around the Mediterranean? Why not overland through Africa?

    The world is round. Very few appears in a straight line, as taking a curve is often faster.

    But depending on nationality of aircraft permission requirements to flyover airspace may not be granted or cost lots so go around

      More reasonable explanation would be that flying via the Med is safer. Lots of diversion airports if required. The direct route is over several war zones. Which would you choose?

        Private jet. 47,000 feet. Short hop. I'm thinking Saudi royalty or VIP that doesn't want to be shot at.
