Recently Qatar has doubled their flights to Australia. I've only flown a couple of times but in J. What I'm curious is in economy, how is the utilisation? Did they really just double their flights and they are almost immediately at capacity?

Is the next move to go to 3x with VA as they originally wanted?
 
So far we only have stats for the first 2 and a bit months of the VA/QR operation to DOH.

Here are the average monthly loads for the QR and for the VA flights, according to BITRE data:

QR marketed flight loads Australia-DohaVA marketed flight loads Australia-Doha
