Re: Krigen i Ukraina og påvirkningen på luftfarten
When planning the detour around Russia, winds or jet streams play a key role. The northern route from Finland to Japan goes to Norway over Svalbard and the North pole towards Alaska and then across the sea to Japan. Back in 1983 Finnair was the first airline to fly non-stop from Europe to Japan, flying over the North Pole, so operating in the polar region is not new to Finnair. https://www.finnair.com/fi-en/bluew...airspace--from-a-shortcut-to-a-detour-2553806
