Blame it on the sun; storms peak and affect Asia's nonstop flights

Article Abstract:

Solar flares deemed 'extreme' by the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration caused communication disruptions on April 2, the same day United Airlines made its first nonstop flight from Hong Kong to New York. Flights by Northwest Airlines and Continental Airlines usually routed over the North Pole were forced to take a more southern route due to increased radiation levels from the solar flare storms.
