“Active conflict zone”: flights over Ukraine diverted
Aviation authorities warn of risks to civilian flights as Russia wages war
Feb 24th 2022


On the night of February 23rd the skies above Ukraine, and its border with Russia and Belarus, emptied. Ukrainian air-traffic control cancelled flights and closed the country’s airspace as Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, went to war. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency warned airlines that there was a high risk to civilian flights and that Ukrainian airspace was now “an active conflict zone”.

That announcement, at around 12.45am gmt, caused aircraft to change course in mid-flight. An El Al plane heading from Tel Aviv to Toronto, which was over Chernivtsi, a city in western Ukraine, made an abrupt detour to leave Ukrainian airspace. Another aircraft, travelling from Warsaw to Kyiv, turned back to Poland.

In early February more than 400 planes, operated by over 35 airlines, travelled through Ukraine’s skies on a typical day. All must now be diverted. For a flight from Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, to Moscow, this increases the time in the air from less than two hours to more than three. By the early morning of February 24th there was just one flight into Ukraine: from the Dominican Republic to Kyiv which landed at around 2am gmt.


Even before the latest conflict, aircraft have avoided airspace over eastern Ukraine, after Malaysian Airlines flight mh17 was shot down in 2014. Two years later international criminal investigators concluded that it had been hit by a missile brought from Russian territory and fired from an area controlled by Russian-backed separatists. European security will be reshaped by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The continent’s eastern flight paths already have been.

航空当局警告说，由于俄罗斯发动战争，民用航班面临风险
2022年2月24日



2月23日晚，乌克兰及其与俄罗斯和白俄罗斯边境的上空被清空。由于俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔-普京开战，乌克兰空中交通管制部门取消了航班并关闭了该国的空域。欧盟航空安全局警告各航空公司，民用航班面临高风险，乌克兰空域现在是 "一个活跃的冲突区"。

在格林尼治标准时间12点45分左右，这一宣布导致飞机在飞行途中改变航线。一架从特拉维夫飞往多伦多的El Al飞机，在乌克兰西部城市切尔诺夫策上空，突然绕道离开乌克兰领空。另一架从华沙飞往基辅的飞机则折回波兰。

2月初，超过35家航空公司的400多架飞机在一个典型的日子里穿越乌克兰的天空。现在所有飞机都必须改道。对于从摩尔多瓦首都基希讷乌飞往莫斯科的航班来说，这使得空中飞行时间从不到两个小时增加到三个多小时。到2月24日清晨，只有一个航班进入乌克兰：从多米尼加共和国飞往基辅，在格林尼治时间凌晨2点左右降落。


甚至在最近的冲突之前，在2014年马来西亚航空公司MH17航班被击落后，飞机已经避开了乌克兰东部的领空。两年后，国际刑事调查员得出结论，该航班是被一枚从俄罗斯境内运来的导弹击中的，该导弹是从俄罗斯支持的分裂分子控制的地区发射的。欧洲安全将因俄罗斯对乌克兰的入侵而被重塑。该大陆的东部飞行路线已经被。
