This NOTAM will severely disrupt flight activities, United canceled its Filght 49, more to come.
This is not done lightly.
You are nuts if you don’t think firing SAMs in a zone will reroute flights. After the MH17 disaster in Ukraine, it takes almost nothing to cause them to slightly reroute flights.
Firing off SAMs is all it would take. No matter if the spy plane was slightly in or just outside Iranian airspace, the fact remains SAMs are shooting things in that spot.
It’s a no brainer to rout around that.
And I was so looking forward to vacationing in Tehran.
