Qatar Airways was the first airline to offer a regularly-scheduled A350 service to the United States.
The airline effective 1 January 2016 commenced service from Doha’s Hamad International Airport to Philadelphia.
“The Airbus A350 was designed from start to finish to meet needs of today’s international flyer,” said Qatar Airways Group chief executive, HE Akbar Al Baker. “At Qatar Airways, we never cease searching for new ways to enhance passenger experience.”
The Airbus A350 aircraft features a host of eco-efficiency tools, which combine for a 25% reduction in emissions versus current generation of airliners. The aircraft has an overall capacity of 283 passengers including 36 business class seats.
The A350 arrival in Philadelphia comes on the same day Qatar Airways commenced daily, non-stop service to Los Angeles. The airline plans to continue its US expansion throughout the year, doubling flights to New York JFK on 1 April, launching daily, non-stop service to Boston on 16 March and Atlanta on 1 June 2016.
