Con el vuelo de pasajeros más largo del mundo se evitará evitar los cielos rusos
March 29, 2022 - Cathay Pacific Airways está planeano cambiar la ruta de su servicio Nueva York-Hong Kong para evitar el espacio aéreo ruso. El A350-1000 de Cathay’s Airbus A350-1000 tomará cerca de 17 horas en volar 16.618km – el vuelo comercial de pasajeros más largo del mundo por distancia.
Cathay is seeking overflight permits to operate the service, which it said was normal for a new route. Before the pandemic, which has severely reduced its schedule, the carrier operated up to three round-trips between Hong Kong and JFK daily, according to Bloomberg.
Many Asian airlines are avoiding Russia due to the conflict in Ukraine, Bloomberg said.
