The first commercial flight of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner to Australia has been postponed following the grounding of the aircraft worldwide.
Qatar Airways was due to make the first passenger flight of a Dreamliner to Australia on Friday, with a flight from Doha to Perth.
But the airline grounded its 787s on January 17, citing the US Federal Aviation Administrations warning over fire risks on board the revolutionary new jet Qatar has since confirmed it has postponed the launch of Dreamliner flights to Australia.
With investigators yet to identify the cause of the incidents, no new date for Qatar's inaugural Dreamliner flight to Australia has been set.
