Etihad EY440 Ho Chi Minh City to Abu Dhabi 7 January
Any suggestions for the bizarre routing of this flight which, according to Flight Radar, headed SW before reaching the Malacca Straight West of Malaysia, where it then circled before heading back in the right direction, but then required a refuelling stop in Mumbai:

This thread won't last long as the name has been mentioned
But to overfly the land of Thai requires certain clearances.

So any explanation for the routing ??
And BTW I am not a newbe nor do I want to be categorised as a spotter
Seemed like a fit and proper question before the cynics and comedians got onboard

Surely, as this forum is reputed to be inhabited by flightdeck and ATC "professionals" this is the perfect place to ask for an explanation, or at least an educated guess.
