This flight was traveling along a route it had regularly used on a daily basis in recent weeks. (Flights over conflict zones are actually common. The Federal Aviation Administration banned U.S. carriers from flying over certain areas above Crimea and the Black Sea
No, it wasn't. Have you been sent in to start altering the reality? The flight was diverted much further north and to a lower altitude by the flight controllers in Dniepropetrovsk, a city under oligarch Kolomoijskij control. Besides, what jurisdiction does FAA have over the non-US flights? Oh, I forgot Ukraine and much of Europe are de-facto occupied by the US...
Also funny how flights over a war zone with partially destroyed civil aviation ground infrastructure is OK, while flight over a peaceful Crimea with a functioning infrastructure is a no-no.
