Qatar Airways launches Flights between Doha and Washington

Following the successful launch of flights between Doha and New York (Newark) last month, Qatar Airways last week launched its second route to the United States, bridging the capitals of both countries with the new services.

Qatar Airways is now operating daily non-stop services to Washington DC. 

Both Washington and New York are the highlight of Qatar Airways’ expansion strategy during 2007, which has already seen the airline launch services to Dar es Salaam, Lagos, Bali, Ho Chi Minh City, Chennai and Geneva. On November 27, the carrier launches services to the Swedish capital, Stockholm.

The Washington route is operated with the state-of-the-art Airbus A340 aircraft in a three-class configuration of 8 seats in First Class - seats that convert into flat beds - 42 in Business offering generous space with 160 degree recline, and 216 in Economy.

Qatar Airways, one of the world’s fastest growing airlines, currently operates a modern fleet of 58 all-Airbus aircraft. The fleet size is set to almost double to 110 aircraft by 2015. With a growing international network, more travellers have an opportunity to use Qatar Airways’ new Premium Terminal at Doha International Airport, exclusively for its departing First and Business Class passengers.

The Premium Terminal features facilities including a spa, jacuzzi, exclusive duty free shopping, business centre, fine dining restaurants and cocktail bar.
