Qatar Airways is to launch passenger flights to Chicago with a reduced schedule from April 10.
Originally planned to be daily, the non-stop Doha – Chicago route will now be operated three-times-a-week, rising to a planned daily service from June 15. Chicago will be the airline's fourth US gateway.
In addition, scheduled flights between Doha and Chengdu, the carrier’s sixth point in China, were due to start with three-flights-a-week from March 19, but the route launch has been postponed to a later date.
Qatar Airways' corporate planners have been actively working on adjusting capacity on routes across its network as a result of the grounding of its Boeing 787s which has impacted operations.
