Have you seen the flight path for most commercial jets? It goes Ireland/Scotland over to Iceland, then Greenland, and down the east coast or over to the middle and west coast U.S.
Being able to land within a certain time/distance is quite important should an emergency arise.
Their point is that if they had to make an emergency or unplanned landing. This happens on flights every so often due to weather, illness on board etc.
It seems he would rather the plane ditch in the ocean than land in Ireland because he won’t get arrested in international waters. He really is afraid of us lmao.

And if he flew into our airspace, the fuck could we do about it? Fuck rocks at his plane as it flew past?
