There is a recent restriction for U.S. carriers that prohibits operation in North Korean airspace west of 132 East longitude and conveniently does not include B467.
Overflies water only.
Rumour is...that there are only the same two controllers that work the flights(same 2 voices every time). A lady and a man on opposite shifts, 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Probably a great job if you live in NK.
