Qatar Airways plans Doha flights from Western Sydney Airport

Qatar Airways plans to begin direct flights between Doha and Western Sydney International Airport on December 15, 2027. The airline will initially operate three flights a week using Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, with a planned increase to daily service by the end of 2028. The airport says the route will become its seventh Australian destination for Qatar Airways.

Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport is scheduled to open to passengers on October 25, 2026. Unlike Sydney Kingsford Smith, which has a night curfew, the new airport is designed for round-the-clock operations. The future Doha service is expected to connect travelers through Hamad International Airport to Qatar Airways’ wider network.

For travelers, this is a future route announcement rather than a currently operating service. Confirm the start date, flight schedule and ticket availability with the airline before making plans. If you will be using the new airport, check official airport information for ground access, parking, shuttle and rideshare arrangements as services launch. Plan your airport transfer around the actual flight itinerary and allow time for the journey to Western Sydney.
