Does the A380 have legs to fly DOH-AKL? I thought its range was slightly greater than that of the 777-200LR.

ATL has been moved up to June 1st... should be an interesting inaugural flight.

I am overjoyed by the KBV & CNX flights, surprised yes, but overjoyed.
Since MH pulled KUL-KBV, BA fly out too early from BKK for connections and MI no longer fly from SIN, there has been no decent OW connection in both direction.
It's loaded from 06 Dec:
QR 824 332 12..56. DOH KBV 0220 1300
QR 825 332 12..56. KBV DOH 1955 2320
Timings work if getting to the islands as well.
Also overjoyed it's not a 787
CNX not loaded - presumed it's not planned as a KBV-CNX-KBV tag on?
(which would just about work if they can turn around the plane in CNX in one hour? i.e.- 02:20-13:00 // KBV-CNX 14:00- 16:00 // CNX-KBV 17:00-18:55, 19:55-2320)

QR have codeshared on BKK-CNX for long time.

I wouldn't have guessed that there is sufficient traffic to/from DOH to support these routes.

The local DOH market will have little interest, but connecting passengers (especially from Scandanavia) will find the route beneficial (as long as the prices are right).

Two big risks, let's hope it's a success! There are certainly enough Europeans that could fill a daily flight, albeit there may be struggles over low seasons.

Apparently AAB has now also confirmed the plans to operate the Santiago route, although no start date has been given yet.

I was at SCL last week, and it was mostly a mix of US based airlines, and TAM/LAN/AeroMexico.

I was in SCL the week before - must've just missed you 
He was saying it would be non-stop, 18 hours. It would be just shorter than the DOH-AKL route that is scheduled to start in Dec 2016.
IB, AF, KL and QF also fly to SCL. Unfortunately LHR-DOH-SCL would be a bit of a long way around...
