Middle Eastern airspace closures have stranded 29 aircraft from Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad at Australian airports, forcing four Virgin Australia flights to turn back mid-journey after up to 10 hours in the air. Passengers at airports across Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide face cancellations and accommodation shortages, with some transit passengers requiring emergency Australian visas. The Australian government has upgraded travel warnings to 'do not travel' for Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi following an incident at Dubai Airport that injured four people. #Sydney #Australia #airports #Iran
