    As handy as a tldr usually is, the actual video is only five minutes and much easier to understand. Thanks for the share.

    Summary

    • Qatar Airways operates a daily flight from Melbourne to Adelaide, despite it being almost empty every morning.
    • Airlines need permission to fly routes, and flying empty or near-empty planes helps maintain their rights to the route.
    • Qatar Airways has a limited number of flights to Australia’s major airports, so they registered a flight to Adelaide to bypass this restriction.
    • Passengers on this flight disembark in Melbourne and cannot board in Adelaide due to aviation laws.
    • The flight then returns to Melbourne empty before flying back to Doha
    • Qatar Airways gets additional flights to Melbourne, and Australia avoids potential issues if Qantas goes bankrupt.
    • However, this results in unnecessary carbon emissions.
