    Lots of factors, but given that these factors might apply across the board to one extent or another, and if originating from AUS ewith some time to plan, It makes sense to book flights that go in the opposite direction.

    Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

    Yes. In Australia "material risk" in tort law are risks that a reasonable person in the same circumstances would attach significance to. Not all risks are material of course, but the risk determination ultimately comes down to the individual. The other side of the coin is that the provider...

    Would you travel Air India?

    The problem is that no one can quantify risk in a way that its significance can be understood by the human. The question to ask is: "If the flight was free would you still take the risk?" There is some evidence that an organisation is often at its safest when it recently had a disaster and can...

    Long thin routes might be affected first Difficult job for RBA trying to thread the needle. Temporary Spike in fuel prices would be discounted by the RBA, but the duration of temporary is unknown, and there are still inflationary pressures in the economy. ..... While objective data are used...

    Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

    A lot still flew with MH and EK did not appear to suffer any problems with loads after the EK crash or near miss + some other LCC. OZ crash? No issues. The net effect at least was temporary and not substantial. B787 manufacturing issues and 737Max? Most people won't know of the above incidents...

    Sure, but a completely uneventful flight is only completely uneventful post facto/in hindsight - ie after you land.

    Middle East Airspace Diversions/Cancellations

    And don't forget that when people buy tickets for a seat on a commercial airline, price is the main purchasing decision factor. "Safest airline in the world" is a distant factor or actually not even a factor at all. MH17/Mh370 did not significant affect post facto seat loads AFAIK. Neither...

    No more customs X-ray baggage check after passport control at KLIA T1.

    On arrivals the baggage X-ray is just a token effort. Most recently I sent my checked luggage through but accidentally the caryon was over my shoulder so it didn't get xrayed. The agents didn't care that it was not xrayed.
