Malaysia Airlines: MH4 diverted over Syria to avoid Ukraine
Malaysia Airlines re-routed a Kuala Lumpur-to-London flight over Syrian airspace on Sunday after its usual route over Ukraine was closed.
Reuters reported that Malaysia Airlines flight MH4 took a different route over eastern Turkey on Friday and Saturday after flight MH17 was shot down over eastern Ukraine last Thursday.
On Sunday flight MH4 flew over Syrian airspace, a country that descended into civil war in 2011.
Flight tracking data provided by Flightrader24 showed that MH4 had previously crossed over eastern Ukraine.
The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, whose regulations are among the world's strictest, has strongly discouraged U.S. operators from flying to, from or over Syria since May 2013.
