Qantas jet takes 15-hour flight to nowhere due to Middle East crisis

The Australian Financial Review
9 hours ago

Passengers aboard a Paris-bound Qantas flight spent more than 15 hours in the air only to find themselves back where they started from in Australia after an Iranian missile attack shut down swathes of Middle East airspace.

The Boeing 787 jet departed Perth for the usual 17-hour haul to Paris at 7.35pm local time on Monday. It made it as far as the south-west fringes of Indian airspace when the airline was told about the missile attack, forcing it to turn around.
