Qatar Airways announced that it will resume services to Birmingham Airport (BHX) from Doha International Airport (DIA) after the route was suspended during the pandemic.
The route will be operated daily for the summer season starting July 6, 2023, three days before the start of Formula 1 British Grand Prix on July 9, 2023.
The flight will be operated with Qatar Airways’ Boeing 787-8 with 254 seats: 22 Business Class and 232 Economy Class seats.
“As the Global Partner and Official Airline of Formula 1, Qatar Airways, is excited to provide fans with unique travel packages under the Ultimate F1 Experience to enjoy exclusive on-track activities at the British Grand Prix. The World’s Best Airline continues to be committed to its English market and strives to offer passengers with the best travel options available,” Qatar Airways group chief executive Akbar Al Baker said in a statement.
In February 2023, Qatar Airways announced that it is the new global airline partner of Formula One, replacing Gulf rival carrier Emirates. The deal will be in place until 2027.
