United Airlines Launches Flights to Doha, Qatar

United Airlines has launched daily flights between its Washington hub, Dulles International Airport, and Doha, Qatar, via Dubai.

The extension of the existing Dubai service to Doha is the first of three new, previously announced United services from Washington Dulles. The airline will introduce nonstop service between Dulles and Manchester, U.K. today (1 May), and between Dulles and Dublin, Ireland, on 7 June 2012.

“We are delighted to add Doha to United’s global route network,” said James Mueller, United’s vice president Atlantic & Pacific Sales. “Our customers in both the U.S. and Qatar will benefit from increased travel opportunities and options with this new service.”

United operates the Washington/Dulles-Dubai-Doha service with a Boeing 777 aircraft, which has a total of 269 seats – eight in United Global First, 40 in United BusinessFirst and 221 in United Economy, including 108 Economy Plus seats with added legroom.

United also operates nonstop or one-stop service to Dubai, Kuwait City and Bahrain from Washington/Dulles.
