Europe routings change causing late arrivals?
It looks like the routings ex DOH to some European destinations has changed causing late arrivals, late departure of return flights and subsequent late arrivals back in DOH.
My regular route is DOH-DUB-DOH. Previously the aircraft took off, usually on time, went north up the Arabian Gulf, into Iraq, Left turn into Turkiye and then into Eastern Europe all the way to Dublin. Now it takes off, hard left across Saudi into Egypt, then north across the Med and into Southern Europe. All this adds to flying time.
I guess it is for good, legitimate safety reasons. That said, I think they should adjust the arrival schedule as right now everything is late. Wondering if this is just DUB or throughout Europe.
