Heads off to the captain who took such decision to avoid any risk...

Safety is the first priority. The plane could have crashed mid air. Good job air india.

It s prohibited to fly over russia air. It is my opinion, you were not insured at that tim, air india. I d like to see the Lloyds spokes man saying WHEN FLY OVE RUSSIA.. warzone, hello? All gone bonke..when i take my car to the racetrack, i am not stopped ..by my cars motor management. But i will not be insured and if i di e ig et nothing.
Ait India 173 could have gotten a missile in its fusylage and ..is it consolance they shouldn t? Prevention before cure! This is outrageous, Air India should be blacklisted 5 fold for malpractice.
And change title of clip, this is the whole point probably, personell put at risk for what, i don t even get how many miles you make extra..delhi to usa, can t be done without Russia passing? Don t get that too ..
