Episode description

Iranian missile strikes have hit Dubai and Abu Dhabi airports, forcing major airlines including Qantas, Singapore Airlines and Malaysian Airlines to suspend flights and reroute around the region. The airspace closures could last from one to two weeks depending on whether Iran's military regime changes or continues launching missiles at Gulf airports. Airlines are using alternate routes through Afghanistan-Georgia or via Saudi Arabia-Egypt, adding approximately 15 minutes to flight times, while thousands of travellers remain stranded without travel insurance coverage for war-related disruptions.
