Qatar Airways (QR) has secured another slot pair at London Heathrow (LHR) and will add a fifth daily flight between Doha and LHR from March 25, lifting capacity on the route from 28 to 35 flights each week. The Doha-based carrier will deploy a Boeing 777 configured with 42 seats in business class and 217 seats in economy.
QR CEO Akbar Al Baker said that LHR has been one of the carrier’s “best-performing routes and it was only a matter of time before we could look at increasing frequency to meet the high demand.” Demand is expected to further increase owing to the Olympics taking place in the British capital next summer, he said.
QR operates scheduled flights to 110 destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, North America and South America with a fleet of 102 aircraft.
