Middle East and Surrounding Areas

Special thanks goes to Tony Pittaway and Bernhard Wenczel, who are primary sources for help with these lists.

Clicking on a "COUNTRY" name in the tables below will take you to a file with more complete distribution and flight time data.

It is hard to define the Middle East so I have included some surrounding areas which others may consider Europe and Africa.

Certainly Syria, Jordan, Iraq and Saudi Arabia come to mind so they are at map center.

Additional information is always appreciated.
