Qatar Airways will start direct flights from the Middle East to Adelaide in May next year.
The airline will fly its A350-900 Airbus services from Doha to Adelaide with links to other destinations including Europe, India and the US east coast.
Tourism Minister Leon Bignell says the move will provide a $41 million boost to the state economy and create about 220 jobs.
