Situation in the Middle East – What You Need to Know
We understand the current situation in the Middle East may be causing concern, especially if you’re travelling to or via the region. Please rest assured we are closely monitoring developments.
Here’s the latest:
Australian Travel Industry Association Advice
Dean Long, CEO of the Australian Travel Industry Association, advises travellers not to cancel unless absolutely necessary. Voluntary cancellations may limit your options for refunds or rebooking.
Temporary Airline Route Changes
Some airlines have adjusted their flight paths as a precaution. For example, Qatar Airways briefly suspended operations but resumed flights just two hours later.
Airspace Closures Are Not Unusual
Airlines have been rerouting around restricted zones like Russia and Ukraine for over two years. These changes are carefully managed, and airlines flying to Australia follow world-class safety protocols.
