Aussie travel plans left in the lurch as flights diverted due to temporary closure of Qatar airspace amid Middle East conflict
Australians' travel plans have been left in the lurch as flights to parts of the Middle East have been diverted due to the temporary closure of Qatari airspace following fresh Iranian strikes. The temporary closure of Qatari airspace has thrown travel plans into chaos for people around the world including Australians due to suspended or diverted flights amid the Israel-Iran conflict. The temporary closure of airspace on Monday followed a barrage of missiles fired by Iran on a United States base in Qatar in response to America's attack on three nuclear sites on the weekend. While Qatari airspace has since reopened, Australian travellers are being warned of flight delays or service disruptions as the Israel-Iran conflict escalates. A Virgin spokesperson confirmed two services operated by Qatar Airways had been diverted on Monday night on the way to Doha following the temporary closure of Qatar airspace. VA1 travelling from Sydney to Doha was diverted to Bengaluru. Meanwhile, Doha-bound flight VA15 from Brisbane was diverted to Muscat. Virgin confirmed both aircraft landed safely. Travellers with planned trips on Virgin services between Australia and Doha in the coming days are being urged to keep up to date with their flight information due to the Middle East conflict. "Guest recovery is being coordinated by Qatar Airways, including support on the ground and assistance with onward travel arrangements," a Virgin spokesperson said. "The safety and wellbeing of our people and customers is our number one priority. "Guests scheduled to travel on Virgin Australia services between Australia and Doha in the coming days are advised to closely monitor their flight information. We thank all guests for their understanding." — Qatar Airways (@qatarairways) June 23, 2025 Qantas flights, including a service from Perth to Paris, were also impacted by the closure of airspace. The airline confirmed Perth-Paris flight QF33 turned back to Western Australia, while London-bound service from Perth QF9 was also diverted to Singapore. 'We continue to monitor airspace availability closely and will alter our schedule as required," a Qantas spokesperson said. 'We thank our customers for their patience and understanding.' Qatar Airways confirmed the reinstatement of its services about 12.20am on Tuesday following the temporary suspension of flights. "Our focus at this time is to help our passengers return home or reach their onward journey safely and smoothly," a statement read on X. "We've deployed extra ground staff at Hamad International Airport to support you as we resume operations." Flights in and out of Dubai International Airport also temporarily ceased amid the closure of airspace. Dubai Airports has warned travellers some flights may still experience delays or cancellations even though its operations have resumed in the United Arab Emirates. "The safety and wellbeing of all travellers and aviation staff remain the highest priority," a statement read on X. "While Dubai Airports is working with airlines to ensure flights operate according to schedule, some flights may experience delays or cancellations. "Travellers are advised to stay informed by checking regularly with their airlines for the latest updates."

Qatar Airways suspends all flights after Iranian strikes on US air base
Australian travellers are being warned to closely monitor their flight schedules after several planes were diverted and an airline suspended all flights amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Iran launched an attack on the US' Al Udied Airbase in Qatar overnight, following the US strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities days earlier. The attack was thwarted without casualties, Qatari authorities have said. Qatar Airways temporarily suspended all flights in the wake of the attack, due to the closure of air traffic movement in the State of Qatar. 'We are working closely with government stakeholders and the relevant authorities to support any passengers that have been impacted, and will resume operations when the airspace reopens,' the airline said in an online statement. 'The safety of our passengers and crew remains our highest priority.' The airline has since confirmed it was reinstating its flights as the airspace reopened. Additional staff have been deployed at Hamad Interational Airport and other airports to assist passengers affected by the delays and cancelled flights. 'As operations resume, we anticipate significant delays to our flight schedule,' the spokesman said. 'We would advise passengers to check or the Qatar Airways mobile application ahead of travel.' The temporary closure of the Qatari airspace forced several flights from Australia to divert to other countries. A Virgin Australia spokesman told NewsWire two flights operated by Qatar Airways had been diverted on the way to Doha. Flight VA1 (Sydney–Doha) was diverted to Bengaluru and VA15 (Brisbane–Doha) diverted to Muscat. The flight from Sydney to Doha was forced to perform a U-turn halfway through the flight, before landing in Bengaluru in India. 'Both aircraft landed safely,' they said. 'Guest recovery is being co-ordinated by Qatar Airways, including support on the ground and assistance with onward travel arrangements.' Passengers scheduled to travel on Virgin Australia flights between Australia and Doha are advised to closely monitor their flight information. Doha is one of the major stopovers for Australians travelling to Europe, which is entering its summer season. One Australian who was planning to fly to Dublin on Tuesday told Today he saw 'lights coming from the distance' as missiles hit the skies. 'And at first it sort of it felt like sort of dull fireworks there, with a bit of rumblings going off,' he said. On Tuesday morning, Foreign Minister Penny Wong condemned Iran's strikes on the US bases of Qatar and Iraq, reiterating calls for 'de-escalation, dialogue and diplomacy'. 'There have been disruptions to flights with temporary airspace closures in the region,' she said. 'Closure of airspace around transit hubs may impact flights globally, causing delays and cancellations. Australians travelling should seek updates from their airlines and follow (Smartraveller). 'Australians in need of emergency consular assistance should contact the Australian Government's 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre 1300 555 135 (within Australia) and +61 2 6261 3305 (from overseas).'

Airlines divert flights to avoid passing over the Middle East
Multiple airlines are turning around flights to avoid passing over the conflict zone in the Middle East. Qatar closed its airspace for several hours due to the ongoing hostility, impacting at least seven flights from Australia on Tuesday morning. This includes two Qantas flights — one to London and one to Perth — which have both been diverted. Flight QFP from Perth to London has been diverted to Singapore while QF33 from Perth to Paris is returning to Perth. It is understood both flights got as far as India before they turned around. Two Virgin Australia flights have also been impacted. Flight VA1 from Sydney to Doha was diverted to India and landed safely in Bengaluru, while VA15 from Brisbane to Doha has been diverted to Oman. Qatar Airways temporarily suspended its flights due to the airspace closure, however flights are now resuming following the reopening of the airspace. 'Our focus at this time is to help our passengers return home or reach their onward journey safely and smoothly,' the airline said. 'We are working tirelessly with government stakeholders and the relevant authorities to restore operations as quickly as possible. 'We have also deployed additional ground staff at Hamad International Airport and other key airports to assist affected passengers by minimising disruptions and offering the utmost care and support to all customers.' At this stage Abu Dhabi and Dubai airspace remains open. Australians travelling to Europe or the Middle East have been urged to check in with their airline for updates. Foreign Minister Penny Wong on Tuesday morning tweeted: 'There have been disruptions to flights with temporary airspace closures in the region. 'Closure of airspace around transit hubs may impact flights globally, causing delays and cancellations. Australians travelling should seek updates from their airlines and follow @Smartraveller. 'Australians in need of emergency consular assistance should contact the Australian government's 24-hour Consular Emergency Centre 1300 555 135 (within Australia) and +61 2 6261 3305 (from overseas).' The United States entered the conflict between Israel and Iran over the weekend, with American warplanes and submarines targeting three Iranian facilities in Iran. Iran retaliated on Monday local time, launching a missile strike against Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, which stations thousands of US troops. Qatar confirmed the strike and said there were no casualties.
