The way I see it I think they were redirected as soon as the entered Egypts airspace because they changed course just over the border.

Maybe James can explain as soon as he logon again.

Safe flying guys.

Looks like they have changed their route today, not sticking to the planned route. Also took off very late today? Wonder what is going on?
