Qatar Airways (Doha) has announced an expansion of its USA route network with the introduction of daily passenger flights to Chicago (O’Hare) from April 10, 2013.

The nonstop service from Doha, capital of the State of Qatar, will be Qatar Airways’ fourth USA gateway, following its daily operations to New York (JFK), Washington (IAD) and Houston (IAH).

The carrier, which already operates twice-weekly cargo flights to Chicago O’Hare, will use its flagship long-haul Boeing 777-300 ER (Extended Range) passenger aircraft on the Doha – Chicago route with an approximate flying time of 15 hours.
