All our Qatari traffic that used to route through UAE is now coming on new airways around the north of UAE on unusual tracks through Muscat airspace. It's interesting, to say the least, and our back-office staff are busily trying to make an untenable situation more manageable by investigating new routes. Unfortunately, we're struggling to cope with a situation that's been dumped on us. My advice to you is have a very good eye on TCAS over the next few weeks as we get used to these route changes and don't badger anyone in our airspace if you get sudden level changes or low cruising levels. We're doing the best we can.
