Qatar Airways is to introduce a fifth daily flight from London to Doha from next March to provide extra seats in time for the Olympic Games.
The extra flight will leave Heathrow at 1600 hrs, arriving in Doha at 0050 hrs the following day. The return flight will depart Doha at 0635 hrs and arrive at Heathrow at 1200 hrs.
The service, beginning on March 25, will be on Qatar Airways' flagship Boeing 777.
Chief executive Akbar Al Baker said the additional capacity "reflected the growing importance of London to the airline's international operations" and would also help meet demand for the London 2012 Olympics.
