Qatar Airways to launch Chicago route with reduced capacity and postpones Chengdu start-up

Qatar Airways is to launch passenger flights to Chicago with a reduced schedule from April 10. Originally planned to be daily, the non-stop Doha - Chicago route will now be operated three-times-a-week, rising to a planned daily service from June 15. Chicago will be the airline's fourth US gateway.

In addition, scheduled flights between Doha and Chengdu, the carrier's sixth point in China, were due to start with three-flights-a-week from March 19, but the route launch has been postponed to a later date.

Qatar Airways' corporate planners have been actively working on adjusting capacity on routes across its network as a result of the grounding of its Boeing 787s which has impacted operations.

Passengers booked on the affected flights are being contacted by Qatar Airways and rebooked on alternative flights and routings.

Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said:
"We sincerely apologise to our customers for the inconvenience of the capacity adjustments caused by the grounding of the 787s, which is out of our hands. We are making every effort to ensure our valued customers are aware of these service updates and are accommodated accordingly."
