The biggest travel disruption since COVID + Great Barrier Reef shark attack

The biggest travel disruption since COVID + Great Barrier Reef shark attack

The rapidly escalating conflict in the Middle East is now sending shockwaves through global aviation, with major airspace closures and key international travel hubs suddenly out of action. So what does it mean for Australians planning to travel overseas?

In this episode, Natarsha Belling is joined by aviation expert Professor Ron Bartsch, who explains why this disruption could be the most significant to hit global travel since COVID. With major Middle Eastern airline hubs like Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi affected, airlines are scrambling to reroute flights through Asia -- triggering delays, reduced capacity and the likelihood of soaring airfares.

Headlines:

  • Qatar has evacuated residents near the US embassy in Doha
  • Canadian PM Mark Carney hasn’t ruled out the Canadian military joining the Middle East conflict
  • Former Jetstar pilot Greg Lynn has had his application for bail denied while he awaits a retrial for the alleged murder of 73-year-old Carol Clay
  • The US House Oversight Committee has voted to subpoena Attorney General Pam Bondi
  • A man has been airlifted to hospital after being attacked by a shark on the Great Barrier Reef
