Qatar Airways will launch a Doha–Western Sydney route on December 15, 2027.
The airline will operate three weekly round trips, departing Doha on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and Western Sydney on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. It is considering a phased increase in service to daily round trips. The route will be operated with Boeing 777-300ER aircraft configured with 42 Business Class Qsuite seats and 312 Economy Class seats, for a total of 354 seats. Flight time will be 14 hours and 5 minutes from Doha and 14 hours and 50 minutes from Western Sydney.
Hamad Ali Al Khater, CEO of Qatar Airways Group, said, “The launch of services to Western Sydney International Airport marks the next chapter in our long-standing partnership with Australia, one of our most important markets. By utilizing this 24-hour airport, we will attract more international visitors to New South Wales while offering Australian travelers our premium experience from Sydney’s second gateway.”
With this launch, Qatar Airways will serve seven airports in Australia, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, and Canberra. The airline said the new route will complement its growth plans through its partnership with Virgin Australia.
