Narrative:
The atl/eur charts include europe low altitude enroute chart 7/8. I believe this chart should be in the far east commercial chart revisions too. Here's why: recently; laksely; norway (enna); was added to the far east terminal charts for use as an enroute alternate for polar flights. I have flown to china this month and receive these charts in the international folder. However; my far east enroute maps do not show enna. It's missing; including airways. Grid moras; etc. The europe low altitude enroute chart 7/8 shows me everything I need to navigate to both laksely and longyear (ensb). Please include this chart in upcoming revisions for possible polar flights to shanghai. It would be a good idea to have it in the india kit; also.
