Qatar Airways adds Heathrow flight
Qatar Airways is adding a fourth daily non-stop flight between Heathrow and Doha.
This will take the airline’s capacity between the UK and Qatar up to 42 services a week from March 30.
The flight will be operated with an Airbus A330 aircraft in a three-class configuration of up to 12 seats in First, 24 in Business and 223 in Economy.
The new late afternoon departure from Doha offers passengers more choice to the early morning and lunchtime flights to the London hub.
Flight QR017 will depart Doha at 1635, arriving at London Heathrow at 2200. The return flight QR018 will leave Heathrow at 0755, arriving in Doha at 1650.
Qatar Airways currently operates three flights a day to Heathrow, and daily to both London Gatwick and Manchester with a total capacity of 35 weekly services.
CEO Akbar Al Baker said: “By launching a new early evening flight to London Heathrow from the start of the summer schedules, business travellers can spend a whole working day in Qatar before catching their flight.
“Passengers from London can take advantage of our first morning departure from Heathrow and connect onto a choice of many flights to exciting destinations in Doha.”
