Avoidign Chinese Air Space? Seems last minute change.

On June 6, Qatar Airways Cargo Boeing 777 Doha to Seoul flight QR8980 used Iranian airspace and did not use Pakistani airspace. The aircraft entered Chinese airspace from Kazakhstan.

On June 13, Qatar Airways Cargo Boeing 777 Doha to Seoul flight QR8980 did not use Iranian airspace due to Israeli attacks on Iran and changed its route to use Pakistani airspace. Probably, the aircraft to enter Chinese airspace from Kazakhstan like it did on June 6.
