Overview

• Qatar Airways will operate up to 10 daily flights to London Heathrow on peak days and nine on others, marking its highest-ever frequency to the UK gateway.
• The winter schedule, effective late October, increases weekly services on more than 15 international routes, including Manchester (to 24), Dublin (to 17), São Paulo (to 18), Berlin and Frankfurt (to 21) and Cape Town (to 12).
• In partnership with Virgin Australia, the carrier will launch three daily flights from Melbourne to Doha and resume services to Canberra to strengthen its Australian network.
• More than 50 wide-body jets are now equipped with free Starlink in-flight Wi-Fi, and installations are being extended to Qatar Airways’ Airbus A350 fleet to improve passenger connectivity.
• Uncertainty over the origin of additional Heathrow slots persists as airlines navigate winter capacity constraints on congested routes.
