Qatar Airways will become the first carrier to fly an all-business class service from Doha to London Heathrow, the airline has announced today.
The exclusive daily flight will be operated by a 40-seater narrow-bodied A319 and commence on May 14.
It is understood that Oneworld member Qatar Airways recently secured an extra flight slot at Heathrow, which would allow the operation of a sixth daily service.
The A319 will be rostered for new flights QR15, departing Doha at 1450 to reach Heathrow at 2025, and QR16, departing Heathrow at 2155 and arriving into Doha the next morning at 0640.
The new schedules appear logical. They are perfectly timed for the business person wishing to maximise his or her working time either in London or Doha.
