Edinburgh Airport announced on December 2 it is to host 10 flights a week to Doha from February 2023, with Qatar Airways to provide an "enhanced service" from the Scottish hub.
The extra flights show the airport is "continuing to build towards a strong 2023" following recent announcements of new and expanded routes to North America and elsewhere in Europe.
The airport's aviation director Kate Sherry said the Qatar Airways expansion was "a real show of faith in the Edinburgh market".
