25 years of flights between Qatar and the UK <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Qatar Airways<\/a> flight QR7 operates daily between Doha Hamad International (DOH) and London Heathrow Airport. While the service is a very common aspect of the airline’s day-to-day operations, yesterday’s iteration was more special than most.

March 30th, 1997 saw Qatar Airways work its first-ever scheduled service between Doha and London, operating an Airbus A300-600R. This took area just over three years after the airline’s formation, since which time it has become one of the world’s most connected carriers. Leveraging its convenient location for connections, Qatar Airways now flies over 50 UK flights a week, of which Heathrow serves 35.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
