As a dispatcher for Kalitta Air, this has happened to me several times, including times when we had the proper permits and then they were cancelled at the last minute. China seems to be the ones that did this to us. Life as a dispatcher can be a lot of fun, like the time an aircraft I was dispatching departed from ORD and one of the engines decided it didn't want to be with the aircraft any longer and dropped into Lake Michigan. Thank you for making these videos.

Hello, I have 32 years as a commercial pilot. A few years as a training captain L1011 and line captain the last 16 years for Easyjet ORY. I really enjoy your YT. I remember the old captains exchanging overfly permits numbers as it was collection cards. One could say: I fly to India tomorrow do you have a number. One captain or FE would give him a overflight number from his notebook in exchange for another permit. It took some times for the ATC to check the numbers and if it was a used one they called back and the captain did say; sorry my mistake and gave them another. Before the ATC have had a chance to verify we left their airspace. It worked for years and we save a great amount of fuel. until they started to visually ident the aircraft with military fighters.

I retired before CPDLC was in all our aircraft, and my older fleet was never upgraded (to my knowledge). However, we did have a digital means of communication which was similar. We could use it in emergencies, total loss of comm (including relay by other aircraft) and for certain very limited functions. For example, we could receive our oceanic clearance digitally. However, we still had to contact center by voice and read the entire thing to them, and get a verbal acknowledgement. We could NOT do most other things, like position reports, altitude changes, etc. We went all over the world, and used that digital comm on every flight for all sorts of routine things, usually with our Dispatch. But not for ATC, barring the limited uses I just described.

I was a passenger on a flight from China to Europe that had to make an emergency landing in Moscow. I was one of a few US citizens on board. The negotiated it so they can refuel and nobody had to deboard because if we had gotten off the plane we would have been in Russia without a Visa. The pilot actually used the word negotiate when he let us know over the PA. Apparently the stop was caused by an unusually long low altitude circling that we had to do in Chongqing that was mandated by Chinese ATC that was not planned for by the airline. The flight crew was very nervous, I really don't think they had any plans of landing in Russia beyond an emergency.

Paying for overflight covers the costs of wages for personnel and infrastructure required on the ground to ensure the safe passage and navigation of the flight. This would include controllers, radios, radar, navaids, plus the housing, maintenance and administration of all these things.

in Jan of 95 I was in 747 Loadmaster training with Polar Air Cargo in Anchorage and the route was Khabarovsk for fuel, Beijing, Shanghai, and over Russia to Belgium, then the opposite for the return. We topped off the tanks in Khabarovsk, and landed in Beijing for some cargo then spent the night in Shanghai after onloading more cargo. 11 days later we finally departed Shanghai empty and were sent home back to Anchorage. I was told the problem was we won a bid for this contract for China Eastern Airlines. Since we were awarded the contract instead of Aeroflot the Russian government retailiated by denying us overflight rights. I didn't care to know the behind the scenes politics but I enjoyed an all expense paid 11 day vacation in Shanghai.

It looks to me that the re-routed portion wasn't necessarily the one that went across the tracks, but rather the one going to PORTI. I've flown New York - Moscow and back a couple of times before the war, and we still went all the way along the coast of Greenland, over Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland, as that seems to be the shortest route. The part that changed for the flights you are covering appear to be the fact that they were not allowed into Canadian airspace and had to go west for a long time before they could switch back to the normal northerly direction.

Yeah, I just checked in Google Earth and the great circle route for NY-Moscow crosses over New Brunswick, Quebec and Newfoundland-Labrador, touches the southern tip of Greenland, then crosses Iceland, Norway, Sweden and Finland. (It turns out that Google Maps does not show great circle routes, BTW.) So they wouldn't have been flying the North Atlantic Tracks anyway, though it sounds as if they were flying first to PORTI regardless, and thus not passing over Canada anyway. (Aeroflot 111 is, or was, a Miami-Moscow flight.) Which explains why they would have enough fuel; this was not a major diversion for them.

Yes indeed. I think Aeroflot was already banned from European airspace when this incident occurred - so they had presumably already planned to fly north of Norway. As you say it was just the route to get to PORTI that changed suddenly when Canada closed.

Because how can they (legally) get to a spot where they would need to exit? You would need to take off in Canada, or enter Canadian airspace - both of which you are banned from. If you are inside, in the air, and trying to go out, you've already broken at least one of those rules. So, accordingly, you will soon be undergoing an enforced landing - attempting to exit the airspace is an attempt to avoid that enforcement. And therefore, on the principal that it's hard to deal with someone who's run away, a rule to say you can't run away from the other rules. A (somewhat bad) parallel is if you were caught going the wrong way down a one way road, there's additional laws to say you can't drive away from the police officer until they've ticketed/finished their conversation with you.

Overflight fees are relatively inexpensive compared to other aviation costs. I found a fee calculation for a 747 flight from London to Seattle over Canada. Canada charged them $2,303 CAD for flying 3,770 km over Canadian airspace which is roughly the cost of two tickets for the same flight. I don't know about cargo but I do know that in the US airlines pay by the number of nautical miles they fly through when flying over US airspace. Historically airlines have always chosen to fly over certain countries to avoid others because of political reasons as well as overflight fees. During the Cold War, Europe was forced to fly inefficient routes over Canada to reach East Asian countries like Japan and China as opposed to flying over the Soviet Union. South Korea even had two airliners shot down after flying near Soviet Airspace. Also, Malaysia Airlines flight 17 was shot down in 2014 during the War in Donbas in Ukraine.

Regards to random routes: that also occurs over sparsely populated lands as well, most notably Canada and Alaska. There's very few high-level airways over much of Canada connecting the major airports, so a random route is often issued. For instance, Montreal to Vancouver is almost always a random route as if all the airways are strictly followed, then the route would be a lot longer. So coordinate waypoints and VORs being part of the flight plan is very common.

Their actual route taken also reveals that they ignored the controller and flew through Canada's airspace exactly as the flight plan said! (and news articles confirm this), but ended up having to deviate to avoid Finland's airspace (minor diversion, at most 5 minutes of that hour). Those articles also makes the timing clear, Canada's airspace was closed slightly more than 6 hours before takeoff so the dispatcher really should have known about it and planned differently, especially since the path is *clearly* built on "parts of Europe's airspace is closed so we must route around".

@@rodneyholland1867 That reminds me of a bad old joke about four-engine aircraft. PA: "Hello, this is your Captain speaking. We're having a bit of trouble with engine number two and have shut it down for safety. We anticipate a one hour delay, and apologize for the inconvenience." [time passes] PA: "Hello, this is your Captain speaking. We've also had to shut down engine number three, and now expect to arrive three hours late." [time passes] PA: "Captain here, engine number four has been overheating and we've shut it down as a precaution. We now expect to arrive six hours late." Passenger: "Typical. If anything happens to the last one we'll be up here forever!"

this explains a lot, every time we fly as military we always take a much longer route than a normal airline takes when going to europe. do you have any advice for a soon to be student pilot? i started ground school 2 weeks ago and once the written is done ill be starting on my PPL.
