Qatar Airways adds second daily flight to New York
Qatar Airways has doubled it daily services to New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport from its hub at Hamad International Airport in Doha.
The new A350 service departs in the morning, allowing passengers to arrive in Doha the morning of the following day. It is the airline's tenth route between Doha and the United States since it started operations in the country nine years ago. The airline recently added a daily flight to Boston on March 16, and will commence services to Atlanta on June 1.
Qatar Airways Economy Class on A350 “This new route is evidence of our rapid growth in the United States,” said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker. “By offering a second flight from JFK, we provide our leisure and business travellers with convenient connections, via Doha, to top destinations in Africa, the Middle East, South East Asia and the Far East. In particular, business travel between New York City and Singapore on Qatar Airways is now one of our most popular routes, offering business travellers a best-in-class experience featuring the Airbus 350 – the most technologically advanced aircraft in commercial aviation flying today – on every leg of the journey.”
The new flight, QR704, departs JFK from Terminal 7 at 11.15 and arrives at Hamad International Airport at 06.45 the following day. In the opposite direction, flight QR703 departs Doha at 02.25, arriving at JFK at 09.15.

Mr. Al Baker. “We were proud to be a part of its inception and we look forward to introducing this unparalleled aircraft with business and leisure travellers along our New York – Doha route.”
