Air Belgium is only covering DXB currently (but they have 2 other flights a day on BA metal which is frequently latest IFE). DOH I believe is cancelled more often due to easy connectivity with Qatar because of the 787 engine crisis. I can only recall one cancellation to AUH in last few weeks and passengers were proactively shifted to DXB flights a day or so in advance but it certainly doesn’t appear frequent. Other than that it’s akways operated by a 787-9 which is their latest product in all cabins so arguably a great route (barring the hideous Y Seat pitch situ but I’m never in Y).
I do think mid December is switching to a 777 on AUH though.
