DOHA, QATAR – Qatar Airways is to launch passenger flights to Chicago with a reduced schedule from April 10.

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.”
