Qatar Airways filed an operational schedule update reducing capacity on the Doha to Adelaide route during the peak season. Effective 09DEC26, the carrier scales down operations on the sector from 7 to 5 weekly rotations, coinciding with the flight returning to a nonstop terminator pattern. The airline had previously scheduled these reductions to take effect from 01FEB27.
The published schedule assigns the 359 aircraft type to the pairing. Flight QR914 departs DOH at 2040 and reaches ADL at 1705+1, operating with the x13 schedule pattern. On the return sector, flight QR915 leaves ADL at 2200 to touch down in DOH at 0400+1, noted x24. Consequently, overall service to Adelaide remains at 5 weekly flights for the period of 09DEC26 – 10JUN27.
