How will the flight time from Russia to the UAE increase due to the downed airliner in Iran?

Interfax news agency reports that Ural Airlines has prepared routes bypassing Iranian airspace. Due to the shift of routes to the west and east of the borders of the republic, the flight time will increase by an order of magnitude.

Flights from Moscow to Dubai will last 7 hours (now you need to spend 5.5 hours in the sky). Passengers of flights from Chelyabinsk and Yekaterinburg will spend up to 6.5 hours in flight, not 5.

Over Iran there is an air route from Russia to Dubai, which is used by Aeroflot, SS Seven, Victory, Ural Airlines, Royal Flight and Azur Air.

Aeroflot flies to Iran (Tehran) from Russian carriers.

On January 11, Iranian authorities said the Iranian military had “inadvertently” shot down a Ukrainian International Airlines plane near Tehran because of “human error.”
