Qatar Airways has announced plans to launch a new daily service to London, using an aircraft only equipped with business class.
Commencing on 15 May 2014, the new service will be the only scheduled flight of its kind between the UK and Middle East, and will be operated using an Airbus A319 aircraft fitted with 40 business class seats in a 2-2 configuration.
All seats recline into fully flat beds and come equipped with the latest in-flight entertainment systems and SMS connectivity.
Qatar Airways currently operates five daily flights to Heathrow, with the new premium service becoming the sixth. This means that from May, Qatar Airway will offer 42 weekly flights between London and Doha.
“Today’s announcement reaffirms our determination to continue the expansion drive by improving an already superior in-flight product,” said Qatar Airways’ chief executive officer, Akbar Al Baker “The Doha-London Heathrow route is one of our most popular international routes and it was only fitting that we introduce an all business class service on this key route.”
