Qatar Airways chief executive Akbar Al Baker said: 'This is excellent news for the travelling public. More flights mean greater choice.
'Qatar Airways has been looking forward to adding capacity across the UK, but in particular London Heathrow, which is our flagship route.'
Doha's profile as a major destination in the Middle East has increased in recent years by hosting World Trade Organisation negotiations.
This year the city will also be the focus of the world's attention when it holds the 15th Asian Games, taking place form 1 to 15 December, with representatives from over 40 nations competing in 39 sports.
