Birmingham: Qatar Airways News & Flight Discussion

[IanFarquharson]

What part am I searching for pal or just inbox me on messenger?

It is in a restricted part of the site

 

[Scania1800]

Qatar slots suggest daily from 1st July

Emirates will definitely take the upper hand because the A380 of theirs returns on the same date

 

[Scania1800]

I’ve just been on QR website and looked for flights from Birmingham to Doha in August & they offer connections via AMS CDG etc but on certain days direct flights …. BUT .. it includes a National express coach up the M6 !! I did very nearly get excited….

I believe that's to MAN

I think the clue is in the word 'restricted'.

Yes the coach up to Manchester has been showing for some time.
Qatar 240 slots only, at double daily this summer would point to a July or August start.. if at all.

Qatar 240 slots only, at double daily this summer would point to a July or August start.. if at all.

But, Qatar has been reported to be daily (not twice daily), so the slots are close to what would be required.

Interesting to See Turkmenistan with those slots along with Saudia having the same amount as Qatar

Let’s hope this is the time they announce BHX

 

[Timberwolf]

Yes 7th March hopefully the day BHX gets announced as restarting.

The fact that they are to announce new destinations on this date, means they will have the extra planes required now to operate them.

With their slots still in for BHX, if we are not announced, but a string of others are,we might as well throw the towl in on Qatar..

Fingers crossed for an important announcement and a big boost for our route development team.

The A350s are going to be repaired by Airbus which may mean new opportunities along with the new 787-9s they got

 

[Timberwolf]

I'd take a QR 789 into BHX

 

[IanFarquharson]

Looking promising for a BHX return.
Also Saudi still interested in BHX but may not be June now.

 

[Matt995]

2 A35K's have been repaired now, and are back in service, look like they are repairing the A35K's first, then the A359s, so hopefully more back in service over the next few months.

 

[Nethercote2019]

Fingers crossed

Looked to book BHX to Bombay in September and was offered Qatar vias Doha so it looks certain that they
will announce BHX on Tuesday

Were you given flight times etc?

Where have you got this from?

 

[gulftraveller]

It shows BHX-DOH nonstop. If you look at the details, the first part of the journey is on Avanti to London Euston. The flights will not be loaded until (and if) the flight is announced.
