What's driving the attention

Qatar Airways is expanding its flight network with new routes and increased services within Australasia and beyond.

Qatar Airways is growing its presence in the Australasian market by launching new flights such as Brisbane-Auckland and Melbourne-NZ routes, increasing Melbourne services to twice daily, and adding daily flights to Canberra. The airline is also operating ultra-long haul 20-hour flights and competing aggressively on the Auckland-Melbourne route. However, recent missile threats in the Gulf have caused widespread flight delays affecting Qatar Airways alongside Emirates, impacting travel plans.
