than to return to Brussels, by lack of authorisations to overfly other countries in the region.

Why doesn't SN have permission, but KLM does? Is this airline- or alliance-based or country-based? Is it because of a conflict this authorisation isn't granted to Belgium/SN/..., or because they just didn't bother to request it up front?

Very strange flight: flight ELY332 from BRU to TLV flew from BRU directly to LTN, totally the other way around. According to FR24, the flight took off from RWY 07R, so facing east. Immediately after take-off, the plane turned towards London. At moment of posting, LY332 is landing in LTN, FR24 shows it has 'diverted'. Seems strange to me. Has anyone an idea why this should be?
