Qatar Airways to Operate Daily Non-Stop Flight Between Doha and New York
Posted on: Tuesday, 26 August 2008, 12:01 CDT
Qatar Airways has announced that it will operate a daily non-stop flight between Doha, Qatar, and New York, US, beginning on October 26, 2008.
The airline plans to deploy its new Boeing 777-300 Extended Range aircraft on the route reducing close to three hours off the current 17-hour flying time between Doha and New York. Qatar Airways currently operates to the New York gateway city of Newark via Geneva, Switzerland.
As part of the revised operational schedules, Qatar Airways will switch its existing six-flights-a-week between Doha and the Newark Liberty International Airport to New York's John F Kennedy (JFK) Airport and step up frequency to daily non-stop services giving passengers greater choice.
Under the new schedules, Qatar Airways will no longer operate flights between Geneva and New York, but will significantly increase seat capacity between Doha and Geneva, which will become a dedicated service.
Akbar Al Baker, CEO of Qatar Airways, said: "As we have introduced more aircraft into our fleet, we have been able to increase frequency on the New York route from four-flights-a-week to six services in just 12 months. The move to New York's JFK Airport is in response to passenger demand flying to one of America's premier airports on the US East Coast."
