Qatar Airways, which has been honoured with various accolades, is on the verge to launch flights to Doha from Birmingham. It plans to take in the air after receiving the delivery of new airliner later this year.
The Doha-based carrier at present operates five services a day from Heathrow and 10 services a week from Manchester to the airline’s prime hub at Doha.
Qatar Airways’ Chief Executive Officer, Akbar Al Baker said, “We are going to commence operating from our hub to other UK airports and will also operate to three new destinations in the UK.
Al Baker told Travel Weekly that Birmingham would be one of the airports but he refused to identify the other airports. When the spokesperson from Travel Weekly asked Al Baker when the services would start, he said, “It all depends how soon we receive the delivery of the additional aircraft from Boeing.”
The airline has confirmed that it would operate flights to Doha on a daily basis from Birmingham. Birmingham is the third largest airport of the UK outside London that handled 9 million passengers in the year gone by.
