If it's approved they are flying a Qatari registered aircraft on a route the CAA has allowed, visas arent required. Different if they were flying on BA airframes, but that isn't happening.
But isn't the point that they would be based on London for the period of the wet-lease, not based in Qatar.

Wouldn't they therefore need some sort of longer-than-normal entry visa for the duration of their stay?
