Qatar Airways is continuing to use six weekly slots transferred from Oman Air at London Heathrow for the 2026/27 winter season. Airport Coordination Limited’s completed-trades listing records the W26 transfer on 16 October. The entry describes a slot transfer and does not specify whether it is a lease, the dates on which the slots will be used or the flights they cover.
The arrangement follows a similar transfer for winter 2025/26, when Qatar Airways leased six weekly slots—three pairs—from Oman Air. Those slots allowed the Doha carrier to raise service on the Doha–Heathrow route temporarily to as many as 66 flights per week. That figure applies to the earlier winter schedule and does not establish Qatar’s frequency for 2026/27.
Heathrow’s constrained capacity makes access to slots held by another carrier one way for Qatar Airways to adjust its operations on the high-demand London route, rather than relying solely on its own portfolio. The latest listing confirms the number of slots transferred but provides no further detail on the operating arrangement.
