1fast1 Supersonic July 18, 2014 Share July 18, 2014 The key thing is that no other commercial airliners fly this corridor for the foreseeable future. I wonder if SQ will give us an assurance that they will be giving this conflict zone a wide berth until further notice? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super7 Turbocharged July 18, 2014 Share July 18, 2014 Yes. It was obvious. But what's also obvious was the place is in war. Warnings were issued to avoid the area. So... ya... it was obvious. Apparently almost all airlines use this air corridor... [sweatdrop] its a matter of heng-swuay.. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vid Hypersonic July 18, 2014 Share July 18, 2014 Apparently almost all airlines use this air corridor... [sweatdrop] its a matter of heng-swuay.. It was a military grade weapon that shot it down. Not just some guys taking out a gun to shoot. Plane was flying at 33,000 feet. They probably felt it was alright to fly high over the area even though warnings were issue to avoid it.

1fast1 Supersonic July 18, 2014 Share July 18, 2014 I think for the time being all flights will be avoiding this airspace. That's probably a safe assumption, but I would feel better with a public statement from SIA, especially in light of the fact that an SQ flight was right on the heels of the MAS flight as it was being shot down. The prudent course of action would've been to completely avoid this troubled airspace for the time being, but until an incident like this happens, the bean counters will win the argument based on dollars and cents. Of course, it would be a foolhardly carrier that dares to continue through this region no matter what they think a "safe" altitude is. But it's still good for our flag carrier to give an unequivocal assurance that they are not going to put anyone's lives at risk in this airspace.

Pocus Turbocharged July 18, 2014 Share July 18, 2014 Doubt the rebels could handle such sophisticated equipments. There's also another news where they mentioned the Ukrainian armed forces sending SAM to that region . Actually depends. Some of the militants could be ex Ukraine military or ex Soviet trained. They may actually have the ability to operate such equipments 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
