On a practical note, this has the potential to make airliner transits of the Middle East and surrounding area even more complicated than it is now.

We’ve got Ukraine, Syria, Iraq, Yemen and now possibly Turkey on the list, as fingers get closer to the triggers on all sides.

If Turkish airspace becomes too risky, then there will be an effective block from Kiev down to Kuwait, which is quite an inconvenience to a lot of traffic...
