Ash closes London Heathrow again


Qantas has diverted three flights bound for London today due to the closure of airspace around Heathrow Airport this morning.

The ongoing eruption of Iceland's volcano has once again caused authorities in the UK to declare no-fly zones, and Qantas has been forced to change the routing of the three services which departed from Asia overnight.

The affected flights are QF9 ex Melbourne which has been diverted to Dubai, as well as QF1 and QF31 ex Sydney which will now operate into Frankfurt.

Qantas told TD it's continuing to monitor the situation and the impacted services are expected to continue onto London once the airspace clears.
