Qantas flights diverted from Europe as Iranian strikes throw travel into chaos
Qantas flights have been diverted following the closure of Qatar's airspace after Iran launched missiles at a US base there. Qantas' Perth-Paris flight turned back to Perth, while the airline's Perth-London diverted to Singapore, a spokesperson confirmed. One flight was over Indian airspace, and the other was nearby when the changes were made. 'We continue to monitor airspace availability closely and will alter our schedule as required, ' said a spokesperson for Qantas, who thanked passengers for 'their patience and understanding'. QF9, the Perth-London flight, is carrying 199 passengers and 14 crew who will now stay in Singapore for the night, as future arrangements are made. QF33, the Perth-Paris flight, has 216 passengers and 14 crew, who will stay overnight in Perth, before travelling onward. The failure of those flights to reach their destinations will have follow-on effects for Qantas with flights QF10 (London to Perth) and QF34 (Paris to Perth) – having to be cancelled and rescheduled. Global airlines are feeling the effect of the escalating conflict in the Middle East, as airstrikes force carriers to navigate around a wide swath of territory, tear up flight schedules and turn around aircraft mid-flight. By 7.45am AEST, Qatar said its flights had resumed following the reopening of airspace in the State of Qatar. 'Our focus at this time is to help our passengers return home or reach their onward journey safely and smoothly,' he said.

Perth Airport named measles exposure site after highly infectious virus confirmed in overseas traveller
Travellers and visitors to Perth Airport last week have been urged to monitor for measles symptoms after a case was confirmed in an overseas traveller. The person was infectious on board Qantas flight QF10 from London to Perth — a near 18-hour flight — which landed at Perth International Airport on June 6, about 11.40am. Authorities say those passing through Qantas terminals T3 and T4 for the next two hours should monitor for symptoms. Passengers on domestic flight QF938 to Brisbane, which left Perth at 1.05pm and arrived in the Queensland capital at 7.10pm may also have been exposed to the highly infectious virus. Communicable Diseases acting director Rebecca Hogan said the terminals pose no further risk, but anyone on the affected flights or in the area at the time should be on the lookout for symptoms. 'This is a timely reminder to the community to make sure they are up to date with their vaccinations, particularly if they are planning overseas travel,' Dr Hogan said. 'Babies can also have their first dose of the MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine from six months of age if they are travelling to a country with high levels of measles activity.' Symptoms of measles include fever, fatigue, runny nose, red eyes and cough, followed by a red rash several days later which usually starts on the face before spreading. It usually takes about 10 days for symptoms to manifest after exposure to measles but can take up to 18 days. The latest case brings WA's total for the year to 20 after an outbreak in March sparked at least 17 cases. Just six months into the year, it's more than triple the number of cases in the State last year, when six cases were confirmed. Those not fully immunised against measles are at risk of catching the highly infectious virus, which can become life-threatening if left untreated. People unsure of their vaccination status or who are planning overseas travel should see their GP to discuss vaccinations. Anyone concerned they or a loved one may have measles should seek medical care, calling ahead to their GP or emergency department to discuss to prevent possible spread of the infection. They can also contact healthdirect on 1800 022 222. Exposure locations:
