Iranian expert warns of risks to flights over Azerbaijan

A large share of flights between East and West is currently routed through Iranian and Caucasus airspace because routes over Russia, Saudi Arabia, Sudan and Somalia are either closed or considered unsafe.

An Iranian expert made the claim during a program on Iranian state television, while analyzing the international flight map and air corridors in the region.

According to the expert, any disruption or security threat along these routes — particularly in Azerbaijan’s airspace — could place significant economic pressure on Western airlines by sharply increasing their transit and fuel costs.

He suggested that such measures could be used as leverage against Western sanctions on Iran and what he described as air-related pressure on the country.
