2700 miles would be approx 5 hours flight time.


Just a guess here, but the course shown would have taken it across and near some sensitive border areas of India, e.g. China and Pakistan. I would think these areas would be well covered by Indian Air Defense radars, and a big plane like a 777 would gain some attention.

But stranger things have happened.
