Qatar Airways has launched daily services from Doha to Sydney – the airline’s third gateway into Australia – connecting business travellers in Australia to its global network of more than 150 destinations.

Passengers travelling on board the Qatar Airways Boeing 777-300 to and from Sydney in Business Class can enjoy one of the most comfortable fully-flat beds in the sky with 78 inches of seat pitch. In addition, the on-demand à la carte menu service allows Business Class passengers the chance to order anything from the menu at any time during the flight. The aircraft also features the state-of the-art Oryx One entertainment system, with more than 3,000 entertainment options on individual screens in all classes.

“Touching down here in Sydney for the first time today is an important milestone for Qatar Airways and for the people of Australia,” says Qatar Airways group chief executive Akbar Al Baker. “We are delighted to be able to offer passengers flying from Sydney the opportunity to connect to more than 150 places on our global network via our state-of-the-art airport in Doha. We look forward to taking the people of Sydney to the places they want to go on our modern aircraft, and giving them a taste of the Arabian hospitality and comfort that earned us the aviation industry’s most prestigious title of Skytrax Airline of the Year in 2015.” www.qatarairways.com
