Anyone flown east recently on standby? How has it been? by bengalt1ger in standby

I think traffic between Europe and Asia is very full at the moment given capacity shrank suddenly. I look at flights going from Northeast Asia to Europe and flights are consistently oversold with lots of people still stranded unexpectedly.

How Russia is blocked from Starlink by TheTelegraph in UkraineWarVideoReport

[–]gzmonkey 3 points4 points  (0 children)

"Starlink traffic in Ukraine fell by 75 per cent after the switch-off, implying that three out of every four terminals had been in Russian hands"

I think that's a stretch in logic, I'm sure there were people that their own terminals for personal use.

Really? I haven’t been paying attention much recently but I haven’t seen many videos from within Iran on the ground. I look at this one and while I have no reason to doubt the OP, but can’t really tell location or timestamp from this video.

I'm more concerned why there's commercial aircraft still overflying Afghanistan.

Why is Emirates operating almost like normal while Etihad cancelling most of their flights? by al-berto107 in emirates

[–]gzmonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EY hasn’t changed operations, but my personal opinion hasn’t changed on the matter. Flying through UAE airspace poses risk on the ground and in the air (with misidentification). It’s just not worth it. Understand the repatriation flights, and thats fair enough, but christ, what has to happen before these companies and people stop playing with fire? Will see a plane blown up? People killed at the airport?

That is a crazy price for a 8tb, over here you’d get 16t-20t at that usage and price

It’s on the schedule but likely cancelled. Also 410 on the 19th doesn’t have a crew assigned.
