I watched the news last night......an expert said that commercial planes flew over the war zones all the time and at 35,000 ft they are safe from missile.....but not long range missile. Countries would know the difference between a commercial plane and a warplane....Commercial planes had been flying over Afghan and Iraq, etc all the time without incident.

Somewhat very cavalier attitude to passengers' lives by the airline companies to save money on fuel.

The flight path is there for passengers to see obviously. Not saying that excuses the airlines in any way, but just wondering what you'd think as a passenger to be flying over Ukrainian airspace...would anybody make an issue of it?

last time we flew to china ( 3 years ago)  we went over russia and mongolia

time before ( 14/15 years ago ?)  we went over afghanistan, but before we came home flights were being re routed to avoid it

that was when taliban had control and were blowing up statues of budda

You don't see a flight plan before you book tickets though. Little you can do about it when you're in the air, and you're likely either sleeping or watching a movie and it probably doesn't enter your thoughts. From a management point of view though, where are the risk assessments being put in place by the airline on these issues?

At 35,000 ft, one need advance ground to air missile.......not the naff shoulder to air missile.

If people knew the flight plan, i would imagine less people flying.

The UK’s Civil Aviation Authority posted a notice on June 14 urging carriers to avoid flying over Crimea and southern Ukraine due to safety concerns.

Airlines were asked not to fly over Crimea, the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov due to the potential for conflicting air traffic control instructions between Ukrainian and Russian authorities. “Operations are normal in all other Ukrainian FIRs [flight information regions],” however, the CAA notice added that UK airlines flying into the Dnepropetrovsk flight region, which includes Donetsk where flight MH17 went down, should “review current security/threat information”.

MORE: International authorities close Ukraine airspace

The Federal Aviation Administration in the US also warned American aircraft in April against flying over the Crimean peninsula and the surrounding waters after Russia, which had annexed the territory, claimed control over that airspace.

Professor Geoff Dell, a Central Queensland University accident investigation and safety specialist, told The Australian there’s no doubt that the airline should have avoided the area.

“From as soon as the conflict started they shouldn’t have been going anywhere near it,’’ Prof Dell said. “They should’ve shifted to alternate routes, like all the other airlines seemed to have done.’’

He said the airline was responsible for the incident, and the chosen flight path raised questions about operational decision-making issues.

“You just don’t go anywhere near it unless you’ve got no alternatives and there’s always the alternative of not going. I’m just flabbergasted.’’

He who fired the weapon is responsible yes, but the airline has a duty of care to their staff and customers. Can they honestly say they took every possible measure to ensure the safety of those on board? I don't think you can fly over a war zone and have the answer to that question as yes. So, in the legal sphere, they are in a world of hurt right now and there is no escaping that fact.
