“The pilots saw the missiles from the cockpit…” An Air flight flew over Iraq during Iranian strikes on Israel

the essential
Tuesday October 1, at the time of the Iranian missile launches towards Israel, an Air flight continued its route to Dubai, flying over Iraqi soil.

Did we narrowly avoid a large-scale human and diplomatic incident? According to information from LCI, Air France flight AF662 departing from Charles-de-Gaulle and bound for Dubai, flew over Iraq on the evening of October 1. At the same time, several Iranian missiles targeted Israel.

The majority of commercial flights diverted

The French airline would not have asked the crew of this plane to turn around. However, the majority of Air France’s commercial flights in the area have been diverted. LCI claims that the pilots of the plane even “saw the missiles from the cockpit”.

If the missiles used by Iran that day were flying at a higher altitude than the planes, that suggests the plane was in the Iraqi air corridor after the projectiles were fired.

Contacted by the news channel, the company confirms, through a press release, that flight AF662 linking Paris to Dubai was indeed flying over southern Iraq at the start of the attack against Iran.
