Must be an older route or someone friendly with Russia. US and some other flights do not operate through Russian airspace.

Yeah, Emirates might use this route. But US airlines would avoid Russia, Ukraine, Iran, and Syria, which forces then to fly much longer and approach over Iraq and across the Gulf.

SF to Dubai
