You will be hard pressed to find any transatlantic flight that flies over Northwest Scotland, almost all of them fly over Wales and then Ireland. I would have though it wouldn't be a major detour to head over France and then towards Ireland.

It'll be like apartheid times when SAA weren't allowed to fly over Africa but had to go the coastal route which is why we always flew BOAC So British carriers will have fly all around Europe to get to Africa/Asia/etc and European carriers just over France onto Ireland to get to the USA...

These take advantage of great circle navigation and for eastbound flights the Jet stream. If the north most corridor has to skirt the channel the south most will be down at the Pyrenees. This is a major, time consuming, and costly diversion. (Gibbon in I used to work at NATs mode.)

Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostPreventing UK airlines from landing at EU airports is not the same as blocking their airspace, but if the UK responded by blocking its airspace it would be a mild inconvenience for the EU, as flights could easily be diverted over France, however if the EU blocked its airspace, it would be a major hindrance for UK airlines to being able to fly East.

British passengers flying to and from continental Europe for their summer holidays face the prospect of “devastating” delays because of tougher Schengen area border controls.
Sadly, the UK will just play fair and not introduce just as strict border controls for those from the schrengen area.
Though Southern Europe, which relies heavily on UK tourists, will see a huge drop in visitors next year. They will all go to Filey instead...

A cessna today crash landed at a Cemetary in Dublin. Police have so far recovered 474 bodies.
That "joke" was bought to you from the 1970s.

It's the dead ones that tend to be silent.

Originally posted by SueEllen View PostIs UK airspace only UK airspace or do with do stuff with Eire due to NI?
For example say a flight from New York sets off but realises they have an emergency before they land in Berlin in so stops on the Irish landmass. Can they stop in Belfast or does it have to be Dublin?*
*Please note I don't have a globe in front of me so can't work out the exact path.
