The carriers recently announced a joint business agreement on routes between the UK and Doha, and the new deal will see Qatar Airways codeshare on all BA flights within the UK, including routes to Aberdeen, Belfast, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Inverness, Leeds, Bradford, Manchester and Newcastle.

In addition Qatar Airways will codeshare on selected BA flights from Heathrow to Europe, namely routes to Dublin, Hamburg, Stuttgart, Luxembourg, Basel, Bilbao, Malaga, Ibiza, Palma, Lisbon, Faro and Billund.
