Qatar Airways has announced the next phase of its US route development with the introduction of three passenger routes to Los Angeles, Boston and Atlanta.
With these new destinations, Qatar Airways will offer daily non-stop services to 10 of the largest metropolitan areas of the US, according to a statement.
From January 1, 2016, Qatar Airways will commence daily flights to Los Angeles, California, the second largest city in the US, with the airline’s Boeing 777 aircraft, which features a two-class cabin with 42 business class fully lie-flat seats in a 2-2-2 configuration.
From March 16, 2016, the airline will launch daily flights to Boston, the capital and largest city of Massachusetts, and operate its latest A350 XWB in a two-class configuration with 36 business class seats in a 1-2-1 configuration, featuring an 80” fully flat bed and 17” HD in-flight entertainment screen.
Atlanta, Georgia, the business centre of the southeast region of the US, will be Qatar Airways’ third new route to the US and commence with daily flights starting on July 1, 2016.
The route will be operated with the airline’s Boeing 777 aircraft.
Increasing passenger demand to America’s largest city and financial centre, New York, has prompted Qatar Airways to add a second daily service to the city from March 1, 2016, the statement adds.
Qatar Airways has served the city daily since the initial route launch in 2007.
The second daily service to New York’s JFK will be operated by the Airbus A350 XWB, providing passengers an opportunity to experience both the Boeing B777 and the A350 aircraft types on the route.
Qatar Airways Group chief executive Akbar al-Baker said: “As Qatar Airways continues its global expansion, we are delighted to be offering even more gateways in the United States, connecting passengers from destinations across the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, Africa and southeast Asia.
“We look forward to offering a great travel experience to our US passengers on the world’s best business class across our network of more than 140 destinations, with a convenient one-stop transfer at the new state-of-the-art Hamad International Airport in Doha.”
Among the 146 global destinations currently served by the airline are Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Mumbai, New Delhi, Singapore, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Jakarta and the Maldives – all with “excellent connections” from the US cities, the statement notes.
