Qatar Airways boosts Winter schedule with record flights to London and expanded global network

Share

Qatar Airways has unveiled its expanded global winter schedule, adding frequencies to over 15 major destinations and setting a new milestone with up to 10 daily flights to London Heathrow—the airline’s highest-ever on the route.

The airline, recently named World’s Best Airline by Skytrax for the ninth time, is responding to rising passenger demand by increasing connectivity through its Doha hub at Hamad International Airport.

Key winter schedule highlights include:

  • London Heathrow: up to 10 daily flights

  • Dublin: increased to 17 weekly flights
  • São Paulo and Johannesburg: both increased to 18 weekly
  • Berlin and Frankfurt: now up to 21 weekly flights each
  • Tokyo Narita and Toronto: increased to daily service
  • Phuket and Maldives: up to four daily flights
  • Sharjah: more than doubles to seven daily flights

Qatar Airways will also restart services to Canberra and expand its partnership with Virgin Australia, introducing Melbourne–Doha flights, bringing total service between the cities to three daily.

In addition to network growth, Qatar Airways is enhancing the passenger experience with free ultra-high-speed Starlink Wi-Fi across its Boeing 777 fleet. With download speeds up to 500 Mbps, Qatar Airways is the only MENA-region carrier offering this service and the first globally to equip over 50 widebody aircraft with Starlink. Airbus A350 installations are underway and expected to finish next year.

Chief Commercial Officer Thierry Antinori said the move reflects “unmatched enhancements” in customer experience and growing global demand for the airline’s 5-star service.

Bookings are available via qatarairways.com or the airline’s app.
