QF32 divert DXB
Just heard it on the news QF32 diverted to Dubai, due to not having permission to fly over Iraq...
Looks like it was tonights arriving QF32 - Landed into Singapore at 12.18 Local(3.18pm AEST). Now scheduled to arrive Sydney 6.10am.

Maybe it missed its time slot to do the flyover? I've heard that flights (such as QF32) are allocated timeslots to fly through Iraq airspace.

A Qantas spokeswoman told AAP that Iraq air services would not allow the flight into Iraq air space on Monday as they did not "recognise the authority" who had pre-approved the flight path.
still sounds a bit odd to me

So I take it the early morning arrival would be due to the aircraft not being able to make the YSSY curfew. If so would the passengers get a room or wait in Singapore for a few more hours in the terminal. They would most likely get a food voucher Im guessing.

There are definitely worse places to spend an 8 hour stopover, especially if Qantas clearly gave pax an indication of when they needed to be back at the gate by. EDIT: Having just searched Twitter, I'm going to surmise that none of the pax on QF32 tonight has a Twitter account. Oh well, I'm sure the media scrum will be out tomorrow morning to record their tales of woe the old fashioned way.
