Virgin Australiaโ€™s Australia-Doha Flight Schedule

Virgin Australia is making a triumphant return to international long-haul travel, more than five years after stepping back from overseas operations. As the airline rebounds from its challenges in 2020, it’s preparing to launch flights to Doha, Qatarโ€”home to Virgin’s strategic partner, Qatar Airways.

Starting in late June, passengers can fly from Sydney, Brisbane, and Perth to Doha, where theyโ€™ll have seamless onward connections to the UK, Europe, and South Africa. Melbourne will follow suit from December 1.

These new routes will significantly expand flight options, complementing Qatar Airwaysโ€™ existing services. With the additional Virgin Australia flights, Sydney-Doha, Brisbane-Doha, and Perth-Doha will now offer double-daily departures, while Melbourne-Doha will see three flights per day.

Passengers can expect the following departure times:

  • Sydney-Doha: VA1 departs at 2:50pm, arriving at 10:50pm; VA2 departs Doha at 9:15am, arriving in Sydney the next day at 6:15am.

Whatโ€™s Behind the Virgin-Qatar Partnership?

While these flights carry the Virgin Australia name, they will be operated using Qatar Airwaysโ€™ Boeing 777 aircraft. Qatar Airways will provide the pilots, crew, inflight services, and entertainment, ensuring a premium travel experience.

Virgin Australiaโ€™s return to long-haul international travel marks a major milestone for the airline and an exciting expansion for Australian travellers seeking greater global connectivity.
