Qatar
Airways launches 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.
Passengers
booked on the affected flights are being contacted by Qatar
Airways and rebooked on alternative flights and routings.
