Jan 3. EK235 Dubai to ORD very odd flight path
Can anyone shed some light on this very strange flight path which is currently in flight?

Flightstats has very little coverage over that area (Central Asia) - the grey is the projected shortest path - the likely actual path was up straight through Iran into Central Asia/Russia - where it was picked up by Flightstats contributors for an actual path.
I think I know someone on that flight, so I'll ask them if I remember when they arrive

Just out of curiosity, I would be interested by seeing the flight path of all the aircrafts in the area ...
Europe being one of the busiest zone, it should have been quite a mess ...
