Qatar Airways to resume flights to...

The daily route will relaunch in June, in time for summer travel

Qatar Airways has announced that it will resume flights to London Gatwick Airport on 5 June 2022.

The resumption of the daily London Gatwick service complements recently launched flights to Doha from Gatwick by Qatar Airways’ partner British Airways, meaning the airlines can now jointly offer more options between London and Doha and beyond with passengers earning Avios frequent flyer points as they go.

When the Gatwick flights resume, UK customers travelling on Qatar Airways will have access to four gateways, including five daily services from London Heathrow, 18 flights a week from Manchester and daily flights from Edinburgh from 2 June 2022 onwards.

“This year is very special for us, not least as it is the 25th anniversary of the start of our flights to London Heathrow in March 1997.”
