The route is operated by a mix of Airbus A350-1000s and Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners.

The airline’s chief commercial officer Thierry Antinori said: “Qatar Airways’ increase in flights to Manchester comes as part of enhancing connectivity from all over the world to the ‘capital of the north’. 

“With these incremental flights to Manchester, we are also proud to facilitate connectivity and capacity between UK and Australia – two significant markets for global travel.”
