Hey Kim I read that the same way too, but on reflection I think it's just a poorly worded way of saying they will travel to DOH on the 77W then connect to other flights (some of which will be opb A380) from there. Having a 77W stationed permanently in SYD just to do 2 hours flying a day makes zero sense (but QR does have more $ than sense!).

High quality journalism indeed!

One other thing that needs to be noted is that the SYD-CBR & CBR-SYD legs are not sold as domestic flights.

The previously published flights make it clear, unless the customer wants a long layover in Sydney of 6 hours it will be 77W all the way.

Would be good if the SYD-CBR-SYD legs could be sold as an international connections to other airlines. Inbound it would offer a perfect connection for Qantas passengers headed to Canberra with all the international flights that arrive at that hour.

Not going to happen, cabotage is very rare, and usually only see during pilots strikes.

Sorry to dig up an old thread.

A7-BEP is the Scheduled aircraft operating the inaugural QR906 to Sydney and Canberra from Doha.

A7-BEP was delivered 31/10/17 to Qatar Airways, so quite a new aircraft as expected since the airline announced the new product would be operating the inaugural flight.

Looking forward to the pictures tomorrow.

Alex.

I’m hoping the QR continue to use the new product 777’s on the run as I’m on it in 2 weeks time .

Qatar has to go via Sydney as Canberra airport is not long enough for a direct flight to Doha

No. Not even close. QR has to operate a tag to CBR because that's the only way they can have a double daily service to SYD under the existing bilateral air services agreement. CBR is on the route map for SYD's purposes, definitely, positively, absolutely not the other way around.
