Qatar Airways discounts fares to mark 20th anniversary of Manchester flights

Qatar Airways is discounting flights from Manchester by up to 20% to mark 20 years of serving the northwest hub.

The deal is available for bookings made until May 10 and comes as the carrier reported carrying a record 500,000 passengers from Manchester last year.

The top destinations via Doha include Australia, Thailand and India.

The airline started serving Manchester with four flights a week in April 2033 and now runs 18 a week from the airport’s newly extended Terminal 2 using a mix of Boeing 787 Dreamliner and 777 aircraft. It has carried more than three million passengers on the route over the past decade.

Europe sales vice president Eric Odone said: “Our commitment to the UK is stronger than ever and we’re delighted to celebrate today our positive and long-standing relationship with Manchester airport. 

“As millions of people who have already flown with us from Manchester know, we are proud to connect north England to more than 160 global gateways in comfort, style and convenience, and look forward to continuing this for many years to come.”

Manchester is one of four UK airports served by the airline, including 47 weekly flights from Heathrow, between seven and 14 a week from Gatwick and 10 from Edinburgh, increasing to 14 this summer. 

Service from Birmingham airport will resume for the first time since 2020, with seven flights a week.
