Qatar Airways celebrates today the inauguration of its new all-premium daily service ‘Business One’ between Doha and London Heathrow, becoming the first-ever carrier to operate an all-Business Class service from London Heathrow.

The new daily service flies from Doha to London Heathrow Terminal 4 using an Airbus A319 configured with a single aisle, 2-2 seating configuration, offering 40 premium Business Class seats.

Qatar Airways currently operates five daily flights to London Heathrow and the all-Business Class daily service Business One is the sixth.

The new additional flight will step up the frequency on the Doha to London Heathrow route from 35 to 42 weekly services and comes just before Qatar Airways commences operations on the Doha to London Heathrow route with its new A380 aircraft, which will operate on QR003 and QR004 from June 17.

Qatar Airways CEO Akbar al-Baker said the Doha to London Heathrow route is one of the airline’s most popular Business Class destinations.

Qatar Airways’ new A319 Business Class seat will have one of the highest specifications for Business Class travel of any airline, with wide seats that recline into fully flat beds and a state-of-the-art Oryx entertainment system, featuring more than 1,000 entertainment options.

Passengers can also utilise the SMS mobile texting GSM and GPRS service on board this aircraft.

Now in its 17th year of operations, Qatar Airways has a modern fleet of 134 aircraft flying to 138 key business and leisure destinations across six continents.
