Qatar Airways is to operate a daily direct service from Edinburgh to Doha from May 1 next year.
The announcement comes just six months after the successful launch of the five-weekly service on the route.
The daily outbound service and inbound service, operated by a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, will link to 145 worldwide destinations through the recently opened state-of-the-art hub, Hamad International Airport.
The most popular destinations for those using the Edinburgh-Doha route are predominantly in Asia, and Australasia, with journey times to Melbourne reduced from approximately 26 hours with two transfers, to just 20 hours with one quick international transfer at Hamad International Airport.
