Airlines re-route or cancel flights around Iraq and Iran after missile strike on military base housing U.S. troops
Australia's Qantas Airways said on Wednesday it would add 50 minutes to its Perth-London flight time and cut passenger numbers to carry more fuel as it re-routes around Iran and Iraq.
Air France-KLM, which halted flights to the Iranian capital in 2018, said it was also suspending Air France flights through Iranian and Iraqi airspace"as a precautionary measure". Other major airlines maintained flights over Iraq and Iran but said they were actively monitoring the situation. While Emirates and flydubai each canceled a return flight to Baghdad, Qatar Airways said its flights to Iraq were operating normally.
