Flight Path

Flight path overview

The route crosses the Amu Darya river and Turkmenistan's Karakum Desert — vast flat sand terrain with almost no features. Over northeastern Iran the Kopet Dag range appears as low ridgelines. The central Iranian plateau follows, dry and brown with occasional salt flats. The Zagros Mountains appear as corrugated parallel ridges in western Iran before the route descends toward the Persian Gulf coast and the UAE.
