Qatar Airways has published its latest revised schedule, outlining a phased expansion of services via Doha to strengthen global connectivity for passengers travelling to and from the UK, while staying focused on what matters most: delivering a reliable, premium journey built around passenger safety, comfort, and consistency from departure to arrival.
Network growth, step by step
The updated programme reflects a gradual increase in flights to and from Doha, with connections to more than 120 destinations across the airline’s global network since mid-May 2026, rising to over 150 destinations from 16 June 2026.
Services from the United Kingdom are currently operating 81 weekly flights, with frequencies set to increase to 98 weekly flights from 16 June 2026, providing customers with greater choice and flexibility when planning their journeys.
Signature service, award-winning Business Class
Qatar Airways’ premium credentials are well established, with Skytrax recognition spanning airline, Business Class and lounge awards, reflecting a consistent focus on service and onboard experience.
In Business Class, Qsuite (“First in Business”) is available on select routes, with private suites with doors, fully lie-flat beds, and a thoughtful layout designed for comfort and productivity. The distinctive quad configuration also allows colleagues to travel together, while Dine Anytime adds flexibility on long-haul journeys.
Hamad International Airport: a premium hub experience in Doha
Hamad International Airport adds a genuine premium dimension, modern infrastructure, seamless transfers, and standout lounge options. A flagship is Qatar Airways’ Al Mourjan Business Lounge – The Garden, set in the airport’s northern expansion and overlooking The Orchard, the terminal’s indoor tropical garden.
Spanning 7,390 sqm with capacity for up to 707 guests, the lounge features 24 quiet rooms, seven spa treatment rooms, a fitness studio, and relaxation areas, designed to help travellers reset between flights.
Food and beverage options range from buffets to à la carte dining, making it easy to work, unwind, or simply recharge before the next sector.
Starlink on board: complimentary high-speed Wi‑Fi
Qatar Airways is rolling out Starlink connectivity on Starlink-equipped Boeing 777 and Airbus A350 aircraft, offering complimentary Wi‑Fi with speeds of up to 500 Mbps per aircraft (with gate-to-gate available at select airports). The airline notes the service is available on flights to over 56 destinations on these aircraft types, supporting everything from messaging and email to streaming.
In summary
As the network grows, Qatar Airways continues to differentiate through the details: warm, attentive service; an award-winning Business Class experience with Qsuite on select routes; a world-class connection through Hamad International Airport and its flagship lounges; and the added convenience of Starlink high-speed connectivity.
