What happened to Qatar Airways flight 806
A diverted flight is rarely excellent news. Besides being a reason for stress for passengers and crew, a diversion results in a cascade of operational disruptions.
On July twelfth, this fate was met by a Qatar Airways A350-1000 en route from Doha Hamad International (DOH) and Tokyo Narita (NRT). QR806 left Doha at 02:45 local time (23:45 UTC) for its roughly ten-and-a-half-hour flight to Japan’s metropole. At 07:48 UTC, while flying 60 nautical miles (122 km) east of Seoul, the A350 left its cruising altitude of 33,000 ft (10,058 m) and commenced its descent towards Incheon International Airport (ICN), where it landed at 08:24 UTC on runway 34L.
