Effing Dump... His stupidity has no bounds.
One of the most congested air spaces in the world are above Armenia and Azerbaijan -- the latter which borders Russia in the North and Iran in the south, neither of which is considered safe airspace for planes from the West.
The corridor is 100 miles across at its narrowest point: which may sound like a lot, but consider that each plane requires 11.51 miles of separation (10 nautical miles) for safety, and then you'd like to have some safe distance to each border.
If Dump's recent actions with Azerbaijan causes there to be hostilities between Azerbaijan and Iran then that corridor might close. But perhaps someone will have an itchy trigger finger before formal hostilities, such as what some Russian guy had in
Eastern Ukraine in 2014.
I have a flight (and return flight) planned a month from now through that corridor. I have been planning this trip since before the pandemic and before my most recent two cancers, and I am stressed and scared enough about flying as it is.
