Australia&#39;s Qantas Airways Ltd has decided to skirt Russian airspace and use an alternative longer flight path between Darwin and London due to the Ukraine crisis, according to a statement issued by the airline on Sunday.</p>
<p>
&quot;Given the current circumstances and complexities, we&#39;re opting to use one of our alternative flight paths that doesn&#39;t overfly Russia, while we continue to monitor this evolving situation,&quot; Qantas said in a statement.</p>
<p>
Flights operated over northern Russia will be routed over the Middle East and southern Europe instead, which will increase the flying time by about an hour.</p>
