Key Takeaways:

Qatar Airways has restarted service to a U.S. destination it last served in 2023.

The Qatari flag carrier reconnected Hamad International Airport in Doha with Philadelphia on Saturday. Flights are now operating daily, using Airbus A350-900 aircraft.

Qatar Airways announced its planned return to Philadelphia in June. Officials said the connection will strengthen connectivity in the region and allow American Airlines customers to book single-itinerary connecting flights via Philadelphia. Qatar Airways and American are both members of the oneworld alliance.

With the addition of Philadelphia, Qatar Airways now serves 14 destinations in North America, including Atlanta, New York-JFK, Dallas/Fort Worth, Chicago O’Hare, and Toronto.
