QATAR-Qatar Airways is to introduce a fifth daily flight between Doha and London Heathrow from the start of the Northern Summer schedules on March 25 next year.
QR075 will depart Doha at 0635 and arrive London Heathrow at 1200, with QR076 departing Heathrow at 1600, arriving Doha at 0050 the next day.
The additional service, served by a B777 with 42 business class seats, takes route capacity up from 28 to 35 flights each week.
Flight times have been scheduled to dovetail with the carrier’s Asia Pacific network.
Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker said the additional capacity reflected the growing importance of London to the airline's international operations and would also help meet demand for the Olympics taking place next summer.
"London has been one of our best-performing routes and it was only a matter of time before we could look at increasing frequency to meet the high demand," he said. "With the global spotlight also turning on London for next summer’s Olympics, we look forward to facilitating travel for sports lovers to what promises to be a great spectacle."
