QR900, the Thursday 26 September 0230 hours DOH down to PER (A388 A7-APG) took off at 0556 hours so arrival at 2135 hours mid evening will be exactly three hours behind schedule. The aircraft previously operated QR4 from LHR to DOH that arrived its Doha gate at 0130 hours, 100 minutes tardy, explaining some of the delay to the flight for Perth.

This will inevitably delay QR901, the scheduled 2245 hours back to DOH to at least a 2330 hours chocks/blocks off. If connections are really tight in Doha, some passengers may be rebooked.
