Qatar Airways plans to launch flights to Western Sydney International Airport in late 2027. The Gulf-based carrier says the service will begin before the end of that year, although no exact launch date has been given. Flights will use Western Sydney International and operate three times each week. That would make Qatar Airways the fifth foreign carrier to serve Australia's newest airport. The route would give Sydney's western suburbs a recurring connection to the airline's network in the Gulf. It also adds another international name to a facility seeking to attract airlines and passengers.
