On the topic or Qatar Airways, can anyone confirm how the Manchester route is performing?

Looking at the CAA stats for July, it appears to be around the 50% load mark; markedly better than the early days, though Emirates seem to have loads in excess of 90% in July.

I'm still waiting for them to confirm their tentative plans to make it a daily A330 service from early next year.
