That doesn't show how it went down, I don't think anyone is denying that the plane crashed, just how.

Isn't this the reason why ELAL flies a longer route to Asia? Since they don't want to fly over the Arab countries?

No, the idea that they don't fly over dangerous territories?

I'm not saying necessarily to this country but in general.

You're gonna tell all airliners not to fly over Ukraine/Russia?

But in MAJ's defense, it doesn't come up like a normal ticker would if it was traded on a US exchange like if you googled "American Airlines stock"

There's a website where you can see live all air traffic around the world, anyone have a link?

It would be interesting to see how the other planes in the area are probably reacting to this by avoiding flying over that area

I'm a New Yorker, which means by definition that I'm bad at geography, but I'm pretty sure Ukraine is nowhere near the Arabian Peninsula.

They are not allowed to overfly these countries.

as a side note, SQ wanted at a time to codeshare with LY, but the Malaysian govt told them that they would ban SQ from their airspace, which means SQ can shut their business based on their location.
