Flight Path

Flight path overview

The flight path crosses the Caspian Sea (visible as a vast inland water body roughly 2 hours into flight), then traverses the Caucasus region, the Black Sea (southern route variant), and the Levantine coast. The Zagros Mountains in Iran appear as a major ridge system if the southern route is taken. The Anatolian plateau dominates the central portion of the route. The Mediterranean becomes visible approximately 1.5 hours before landing, with the North African coast gradually appearing as the aircraft descends toward Tunisia.
