Qatar Airways has returned to Birmingham Airport for the first time in three years - reconnecting England's second city to the airline’s international network including more than 160 destinations.
To help mark Qatar Airways’ global partnership with Formula 1 and the start of the highly-anticipated British Grand Prix at nearby Silverstone on 7-9 July, F1 legend, David Coulthard, was present at the airport event to extend his support for Qatar Airways’ return to Birmingham.
The airline is operating one flight a day, 7 days a week, to and from Birmingham Airport throughout the summer.
The flights are operated with a Boeing 787-800 Dreamliner aircraft with 254 seats including 22 in Business Class.
Gary Kershaw, UK & Ireland Country Manager, Qatar Airways, said: “We’re delighted to mark our return to Birmingham Airport, particularly on the eve of the British Grand Prix as Qatar Airways celebrates its first year as a Global Partner of Formula 1."
David Coulthard, former F1 driver, said: “It’s exciting to see Qatar Airways – Formula 1’s new Global Airline Partner – back at Birmingham, with the West Midlands region boasting a rich automotive history and on the doorstep of Britain’s F1 heartland."

Qatar Airways Business Class
Known for its famed, enclosed and unique Qsuite, lavish lounges and impressive inflight service and dining, Qatar Airways Business Class deserves every accolade it receives. For an airline with such a global network from the Americas to Europe, Africa, Asia and the Middle East, such highly rated amenities for a global carrier makes Qatar Airways a true industry leader.
The airline has now added a new Business Class Suite to its portfolio of seats – which is specific to the latest aircraft to join the Qatar Airways fleet – the upgraded Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. Smaller than the Qsuite, the Business Class Suite still offers an impressive level of luxury for the most discerning traveller. Qatar also flies its A380s to select markets, such as London Heathrow, Bangkok, Sydney and Perth.
Qatar Airways is part of the oneworld alliance, which includes the international carriers American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Finnair, Qantas, Royal Jordanian and Sri Lankan. Its flights carry numerous codeshare partnerships to better facilitate global connections between more cities than one airline could feasibly operate on its own.
Members of its Privilege Club program earn and redeem frequent flier miles – known as Avios – when flying oneworld airlines, making it easier to earn free trips for future travel while also taking advantage of alliance amenities including lounge access and priority services when flying on other airlines.
