Qatar Airways Resumes Flights to Adelaide, Australia

Qatar Airways will resume scheduled passenger services to Adelaide, Australia starting from 16 August 2020.

The South Australian capital will become the airline’s fifth destination in Australia to resume flights, making Qatar Airways the only international carrier currently servicing five major cities in Australia.

The twice-weekly service to Adelaide will be operated by the airline’s fuel-efficient Airbus A350-900, offering 36 seats in Business Class and 247 seats in Economy Class.

Qatar Airways began its passenger services to Adelaide in 2016, flying the first Airbus A350 into Australia.

The airline recently grounded its fleet of Airbus A380s, and instead operate its full fleet of Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 aircraft, as they are more environmentally and commercially sustainable.

Benchmark figures identified that Qatar Airways’ fleet of A350 aircraft saved up to 20 tonnes of CO2 per block hour on routes to Australia compared to the A380.

With the resumption of flights to Adelaide, Qatar Airways will operate 23 passenger flights per week to Australia including 2 weekly flights to Adelaide, 3 weekly flights to Brisbane, 4 weekly flights to Perth, Daily flights to Melbourne, and Daily flights to Sydney.
