Qatar Airways’ inaugural flight to Chicago touched down at O’Hare International Airport on 10 April marking the airline’s fourth gateway in the United States.
With the launch of thrice-weekly passenger services between Chicago and Doha, Chicago becomes destination number 126 in the airline’s impressive worldwide network.
Qatar Airways now operates 24 passenger flights a week between the United States and Doha – daily from New York, Washington DC and Houston and the new thrice-weekly services from Chicago.
Effective June 15, the Chicago – Doha route will increase to a daily service. Qatar Airways also operates twice-weekly dedicated cargo flights between the two cities, launched in August 2010.
Aside from Chicago, New York, Washington and Houston, Qatar Airways’ North American operations cover thrice-weekly services to Montreal.
Qatar Airways’ Doha – Chicago route is being operated with a Boeing 777-300 Extended Range aircraft in a two-class configuration of 293 seats in Economy Class and 42 in Business Class.
