The Iran war is prompting Qantas to scale back flights within Australia, but it's flying more to Paris and Rome. The airline's scaling back domestic Qantas and Jetstar flights about 5 percent. Qantas says fuel prices have more than doubled since late February, and remain highly volatile. Australian correspondent Murray Olds says the airline's projected to make a loss amid the ongoing conflict - and business confidence has dropped.
