Qatar Airways has announced plans to increase its daily flights between Doha and London Heathrow Airport to 10 each way for the upcoming 2025/26 northern hemisphere winter season. This marks the highest number of services the airline has ever operated on this route.

The airline, which also flies to London Gatwick Airport, will be joined by British Airways in offering direct flights between Heathrow and Doha. Together, oneworld alliance passengers will have access to up to 12 daily departures between the two cities.

Qatar Airways’ Chief Commercial Officer Thierry Antinori commented on the development: "Qatar Airways is consistently witnessing a steady rise in demand for our 5-star services to some of the most prominent destinations in the world. (...) The latest increase in flight frequency is a testament to our continual and unmatched enhancements of experiences for our passengers travelling through the best airport in the Middle East."

In addition to its expanded London service, Qatar Airways is increasing frequencies on several other routes across Europe, North America, Asia, Africa, and Australia. In Europe, flights from Doha to Berlin and Frankfurt will increase from 18 to 21 per week, while Dublin and Madrid will see an increase from 14 to 17 weekly flights. Manchester Airport will see certain days with four daily flights instead of three, raising total weekly services from 21 to 24.

In North America, Toronto Pearson International Airport’s service will become daily rather than five times per week. São Paulo flights will rise from 14 per week to 18.

Asian destinations are also seeing increased frequencies: Malé (Maldives) and Phuket (Thailand) both move from three daily flights to four; Tokyo Narita increases from 11 weekly flights to 14.

African routes include an extra weekly round trip between Doha and Casablanca (from four up to five), Johannesburg (from 14 up to 18 weekly), and Cape Town (from ten up to twelve). In the Middle East, Abu Dhabi rises from five daily flights to six, while Sharjah increases from three daily flights up to seven.

The carrier is also expanding its Australian operations this winter. According to Antinori: "this winter, in partnership with Qatar Airways,V irgin Australia will launch flights from Melbourne to Doha, increasing capacity to three daily flights between the two cities." Additionally, Qatar Airways plans to restart services between Doha Hamad International Airport and Canberra Airport.

Antinori added that these moves "reinforce Qatar Airways' commitment to enhance connectivity between Australia and the world." Many travelers use Doha as a transit point when flying between Australia and Europe.

Qatar Airways was founded in 1993 and operates out of its hub at Hamad International Airport in Doha. It is a member of the oneworld alliance under CEO Badr Mohammed Al Meer.
