Qatar Airways says poor business traffic figures have prompted it to leave London Gatwick Airport, UK and move operations to Manchester, where it will go double-daily from June 01.

Its last Gatwick flight will be on May 31.

Etihad and Oman Air earlier made a similar decision and moved their operations to Heathrow.

Emirates now is Gatwick's only major long-haul Middle East airline.
