Qantas Responds: Middle East Flight Paths

Qantas advises that it is adjusting its flight paths over the Middle East to avoid the airspace over Iraq and Iran until further notice.

More information

• Flight QF9 (Perth-London) and QF10 (London-Perth) are the only Qantas flights affected by this change.
• The altered flight path increases flying time by about 40-50 minutes on QF9. As a result, we will need to reduce the numbers passengers on board in order to carry more fuel.
• Despite the altered route, QF10 will operate with a full passenger load and the same flight time due to prevailing winds.
• Qantas's other flights to and from London (QF1/2) are unaffected as they operate through an alternative flight path.
