And the strange thing about that is that they had to route via Dubai, in both directions, stopping for about 80 mins.
Anyone any idea why they wouldn't choose direct flights when there's an aircraft specifically for that sort of jaunt?

The A321 is a VIP transport. The Voyager is a tanker/transport that is sometimes used for VIP transport. Maybe it had other tasking.
