In July, it added daily non-stop scheduled services to Washington DC.
Qatar Airways’ QR flight code is now on selected services operated by United, giving Qatar access to a number of US domestic cities from Washington DC, and on flights from key European gateways to the US.
United’s UA flight code is on Qatar’s flights between Doha and Washington DC and Newark, as well as a number of routes operated by Qatar Airways across its network from the Qatari capital.
