Qatar Airways Unveils Global Winter Schedule, Increasing Flights to Over 15 Destinations Including Up to 10 Daily Flights to London Heathrow

Travellers Can Now Plan Ahead for the Winter Season with Greater Choice and Convenience with the World’s Best Airline

Qatar Airways has unveiled an enhanced global winter schedule, increasing frequencies to over 15 destinations worldwide, reaffirming its position as the airline of choice for international travellers. The expanded network will provide greater flexibility and connectivity via Doha’s award-winning Hamad International Airport, voted the Best Airport in the Middle East.

Named the World’s Best Airline by Skytrax in 2025 for a record ninth time, Qatar Airways continues to lead the industry with customer-centric innovation, premium service, and operational excellence.

A notable highlight of the winter schedule is the airline’s record-high frequency of up to 10 daily flights to London Heathrow, reinforcing its vital role in connecting the UK to the world. These services are bolstered by British Airways’ double-daily flights, offering unmatched convenience between London and Doha.

Mr. Thierry Antinori, Qatar Airways Chief Commercial Officer, stated:
“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, most notably for London, Dublin, Cape Town, and São Paulo. This winter, in partnership with Virgin Australia, we will launch flights from Melbourne to Doha, increasing capacity to three daily services between the two cities. We are also resuming services to Canberra, reinforcing our commitment to enhancing connectivity between Australia and the rest of the world.”

“This latest increase in flight frequency is a testament to our ongoing investment in customer experience and our strategic focus on global connectivity through Hamad International Airport – the Best Airport in the Middle East.”
