The Brumby Labor Government has welcomed Qatar Airways, the national carrier for the State of Qatar, to Victoria as the airline’s first passenger flight from Doha touched down at Melbourne Airport last night.

Qatar Airways will initially operate three flights per week from Melbourne to Doha, with daily services to commence at the start of January next year.

Tourism and Major Events Minister Tim Holding said it was a fantastic milestone for Victoria’s tourism industry and for Melbourne as a leading gateway city to Australia.
