Qatar Airways will launch flights to Atlanta, the
airline’s 10th destination in the United States, on 1 June 2016.
The route between
Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL) and Hamad International Airport (HIA)
will be operated daily non-stop with a Boeing 777, with the
exception of the first flight – which will be deployed with an
Airbus A380 super-jumbo for one day only, on 1 June.
“With our expanding presence in the United
States, we look forward to welcoming new passengers from Atlanta
and beyond to experience our product and the distinct hospitality
of Qatar Airways,” said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Mr.
Akbar Al Baker. “Our network, much like our on-board product, is optimised
for long journeys, offering customers fast and seamless transfers
at our home airport, or the option to extend your time in Doha to
experience the world’s finest airport. We want to go places
together with our customers, to be part of their journey and contribute to a memorable experience.”
Qatar Airways’ third new destination to the
United States this year, Atlanta follows the start of services to
Los Angeles (1 January) and Boston (16 March).
