Qatar Airways Set to Resume Daily Flights to Canberra

Qatar Airways is set to re-launch daily flights to Canberra, the capital city of Australia, driving connectivity and increased competition for the benefit of Canberrans and Australian customers.

The announcement comes on top of the launch of sales of Virgin Australia’s new services from Sydney, Brisbane, Perth and Melbourne to over 100 destinations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, operated on Qatar Airways aircraft.

The daily flights to Canberra will operate via Melbourne to the airline’s hub in Doha, offering travellers a world-class stopover experience with seamless connections to more than 170 destinations across the Qatar Airways global network.

The flights, commencing in December 2025, will be operated by Boeing 777 aircraft, featuring the airline’s award-winning Q-suite Business Class cabin* and complimentary high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi for all passengers.

Services from Canberra will include the QSuite configuration by default. The aircraft will only switch to a non-QSuite fitted aircraft if operationally required.

Melbourne flights will be on sale on January 2025 and will commence in December 2025.

Qatar Airways stopped flying to Canberra during the global COVID-19 pandemic, making this announcement a significant milestone for the airline as it reconnects to the city, the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) and the surrounding regions.
