Until now, Qatar Airways has not had more than 3 daily Manchester flights. That changed in June 2025, with 24 weekly services (3 to 4 daily) for the first time. The Boeing 787 and Airbus A350 operate, with the 777 returning in October.

Air Canada will no longer operate Calgary-London-Heathrow-Delhi. Instead, it will reintroduce Toronto-Heathrow-Mumbai, having last served that route in winter 2023/2024. It’ll replace its planned non-stop Toronto-Mumbai flights.

On 8 June, an Air China Boeing 747-8i was flown to London Heathrow on one of the carrier’s two daily flights from Beijing Capital to the UK’s busiest airport. Due to Chinese dignitaries, it replaced the 777-300ER that is ordinarily used. The airline last regularly flew the jumbo to Heathrow 17 years ago.
