Qatar Airways resumes flights to Miami, adds frequencies to Chicago, New York

Dhaka: Qatar Airways has announced to resume flights to Miami from November 14. The airline will operate two weekly flights to the US destination as well as increase frequencies to both Chicago and New York.

After maintaining operations to take over 220,000 passengers home to the U. since the onset of the pandemic, the carrier is now committing to helping travellers get home safely to see their loved ones this holiday season.

The move follows the airline's continuous effort to strengthen its network across the globe by putting a priority on reinstating flights throughout the pandemic and adding new destinations, while also leaning into strategic partnerships.

This most recently includes the announcement of San Francisco as the airline's newest US destination – the only nonstop service this winter between San Francisco and the Middle East – set to launch on December 15.

The two weekly Miami flights, as well as the additional Chicago frequencies, will be flown on Qatar Airway's spacious Boeing 777-300ER featuring 42 seats in the award-winning Qsuite Business Class cabin and 312 seats in Economy Class. The additional New York frequencies will be operated by the airline's state-of-the-art Airbus A350-900 featuring 36 Qsuites and 247 seats in Economy.
