qatar Airways Sets New Record for London Flights

Airline boosts services to more than 15 destinations worldwide, offering UAE travellers greater connectivity through Doha.

Qatar Airways has significantly increased its global operations for the Winter 2025 season, adding capacity to more than 15 destinations worldwide. A standout change is the record 10 daily flights to London Heathrow — the highest frequency the airline has ever operated on the route.

The move is part of a broader network expansion aimed at meeting rising demand for both leisure and business travel. The airline, ranked among the world’s top carriers, now offers more flexibility for passengers travelling from the UAE through Doha to key international cities.


Expanded Routes Across Continents

The updated schedule strengthens Qatar Airways’ presence across Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. Notable additions include:

  • Sharjah: Services increased from three to seven daily flights, giving UAE-based travellers more options for short regional connections.
  • Melbourne: Flights increased to three per day in partnership with Virgin Australia, alongside the restart of services to Canberra.
  • Manchester: Grows from 21 to 24 weekly flights.
  • Dublin: Increases from 14 to 17 weekly flights.
  • São Paulo and Johannesburg: Both routes expand from 14 to 18 weekly flights.
  • Additional capacity has also been added to destinations such as Frankfurt, Berlin, and Cape Town.

These upgrades are designed to cater to peak seasonal travel while improving onward connectivity for passengers transiting through Hamad International Airport.


Added Benefits for UAE Passengers

For those living in Dubai and the wider UAE, the expanded schedule means:

  • More convenient timings for business travel to Europe and the Americas.
  • Better connections to long-haul leisure destinations without extended layovers.
  • Greater flexibility to secure preferred flight times during busy travel periods.

The airline’s Doha hub remains a strong draw for UAE passengers thanks to its efficient transfers, premium facilities, and high service standards.

This increase in frequencies comes as part of the airline’s strategy to strengthen its global network and maintain its position as one of the most connected carriers in the world.


Doha Hub Continues to Shine

Hamad International Airport, the airline’s base, has consistently ranked among the best airports globally for its efficiency and passenger experience. For travellers from Dubai and Sharjah, Doha offers smooth transfers, minimal connection times, and a premium selection of lounges, retail outlets, and dining options.

With its expanded schedule, Qatar Airways is expected to play a larger role in meeting the growing demand for air travel from the UAE to major global destinations this winter.

The Winter 2025 schedule reflects the airline’s confidence in sustained travel demand and its commitment to offering greater choice to passengers. Whether it is a quick business trip to London, a family holiday in Europe, or a long-haul adventure to Australia, the increased services are set to benefit UAE travellers seeking flexible, high-quality connections.
