@abbie.cheeseman: Azerbaijan’s airspace handled about 278 flights a day in early 2022, and by the end of 2025 the average was 695, with the busiest day this summer reaching 1,210. Controllers there have added sectors and redesigned the airspace to keep Europe to Asia flights moving through the gap. Have you ever flown that route over the Caucasus? #aviation #airspace #Azerbaijan #SouthCaucasus #historytok
Azerbaijan DO NOT start another war with Armenia rn

Ganja is a Persian word meaning treasure or basically a treasure chest! it's hilarious how appropriate the name ended up being in this case.

On average Azerbajin makes $318USD a flight that flies through their airspace. That’s nearly $130USD million a year. Prior to 2022 they were making about $30USD million a year. Keep in mind this is not pure profit. They have had to invest in upgrading infrastructure and hiring more controllers to facilitate this increased traffic. But it has been a good economic boom for them nonetheless.

Of course some can route over polar and come down to Asia from the top. It’s been done and happens often. For example today’s flight from JFK to HKG CX841.

Flights from Japan and Europe fly over Canada. I wanted to go around the world and had to travel west the whole way. One part was from Japan to Spain and I flew a Chinese airline (some parts over Russia are allowed). KLM and others flew backwards and added a few hours flight time since it was longer.

And of course, those two countries hate each other as well. If they come to blows then they’ll have to fly the other way around and stop in North America

Now imagine if Russia decides to invade those two countries. The chaos for airlines would be incredible.

"western airlines have been banned since 2022" its important to mention that it was russias reaction on the bann of russian airlines over western airspace. if you tell only the half story someone could assume propaganda or atleast framing.
