Labor frontbencher Jason Clare has challenged Qatar Airways to make the most of their routes to Australia as the federal government's decision to block the airline's bid for extra flights continues to be scrutinised.
A Senate inquiry had been probing the reasons why Qatar Airways was denied extra flights into Australia and whether or not domestic carrier Qantas influenced the call.
But Mr Clare said the Middle Eastern airline could already have more flights to Australia if Qatar's current slots were maximised.
