You need to go back to school for geography as, non of these fights would not be anywhere near Russian airspace  ;)

royhall:
Just saying they have banned over flying Russia. Sometimes freight can take unusual routes and in this case between Japan and Frankfurt a part of Russia is directly en- route, namely the Caspian sea and river Volga area. Some cargo only companies used to land in Russia en-route to refuel due to the lower cost, but due to not unloading and scanning the cargo the tracking never shows they were there.

Trigger:
As Sumpmagnet has already stated, to keep costs down you never get a package on a direct flight. Japan to Shenzhen to UAE were a plane would refuel ( as this is a place for cheap fuel ) and on to Frankfurt would be 2000 miles from the caspian sea. 

royhall:
There's tons out there on the internet about aircraft re-routing due to the Ukraine war. If they never went near Russia why would all the worlds airlines be taking a longer detour. Of course they flew through Russia. And as Flatfour says they are rejecting and returning parcels in Japan. For no reason I assume. Doesn't mean it's not happening just because your getting your parcels. You can have the last word Trig as I'm done with this pointless argument.

MCTID:
A bit off the subject......but many Cargo Ships presently can't/ won't/ don't sail anywhere near the Black Sea as its now classed as a 'War Zone' by many Insurance Companies........i.e. they won't insure Ships (or their cargoes) which are damaged or lost in the area.

I suppose that this also contributes to some of the present difficulties that Major Global Manufacturers and International Freight Companies are experiencing in shipping/ moving stuff around the globe.

Even Mad Vlad is having to bring his ancient Tanks out of storage because he can't keep his newer Tanks on the road due to having no spares for them.....apparently many of the spares for the Russian Military machine are made in Ukraine ! Somebody didn't think that one through properly did they !

I also suppose that things will get much worse before they get any better !
