Is this because Qatar has too many routes on the A350-1000 for the amount it has. Other routes seem to be more consistent than the London route. Anyone know why?
The A380 is normally on the QR 3/4 rotation. QR 4 and QR 8 both depart LHR within an hour of eachother. Could you be looking at the wrong timings perhaps? I've never seen an A380 used on QR 8. Which dates are you looking at?
