Qatar Airways has announced that its planned, daily service between Qatar and Adelaide, Australia will have to be temporarily delayed due to slower than anticipated deliveries for the Airbus A350-900 airline. Flights have already begun on the route, but service is expected to remain at every-other-day until deliveries can catch up. Airbus has cited delays at its cabin providers as being responsible for the delivery gap.
