HKG-DOH-GRU on June 9
Oh boy. Caught in the middle of the storm

I'm in HKG and on June 9 I'll be on HKG-DOH-GRU on a R-fare business ticket. I was told by QR reps that the route is fine. But reading this airspace issue, got me wondering. DOH-GRU flies over Saudi airspace. If a reroute is needed, can the 773 fly nonstop or will it need to land for a refuel somewhere in Africa/Europe?
