Qatar Airways is an old fashioned flag carrier, built to get Qatar "out there". They also fly half empty B787s frequently out of CWL and the country is engaged in a cold war with the UAE. Not sure how much of this is commercially driven IMHO. They currently have six B789s on the flightline at PAE.
Great news for EDI though as the second daily DXB cannot be far away.
