Virgin Australia Launches Direct Flights to Doha in partnership with Qatar Airways A new era of international travel is ready to take off, with the partnership between Virgin Australia and Qatar Airways1 set to deliver more value and choice for Australians, providing opportunities to travel to over 100 destinations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Starting today, Australians can book Virgin Australia’s new services to jet directly from Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth to Doha for travel from June 2025, with Melbourne2 set to join the party later that year. These flights will be operated by Virgin Australia using Qatar Airways’ spacious Boeing 777s, renowned for their Qsuite3 Business Class. Qatar Airways has been voted the best airline in the world eight times including this year, setting the benchmark for the world’s best travel experience. From sipping espresso in Rome to strolling down the Champs Élysées in Paris, Aussies with a passion for travel now have unrivalled ease, value and choice to explore the world. The Virgin Australia and Qatar Airways partnership, pending final regulatory approval, positions Virgin Australia to strongly compete in the international travel market while also improving its domestic strategic position, delivering increased competition, improved connectivity, and enhanced customer choice. Travellers aren’t the only winners; the new Virgin Australia flights also boost Aussie tourism, jobs and businesses. More than $3 billion is expected to be injected into the economy over the next five years from increased visitors, creating jobs and more opportunity along the way.
