Qatar Airways Announces New Chicago Route

As a major hub for business and leisure travelers, Chicago is a city that will greatly benefit from the announcement from Qatar Airways that the city will be included in its USA route expansion. The carrier already operates out of Chicago twice a week with cargo flights, however, with the new announcement, Qatar will introduce daily passenger flights beginning April 10, 2013. Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer, Akbar Al Baker, said, “As Qatar Airways continues its aggressive expansion, we are pleased to finally offer another gateway in the United States, this time to the ‘The Windy City’ of Chicago, five years after we began operations to North America.”
