Beginning in May, US Airways customers will be able to enjoy seamless travel between the United States and Qatar, thanks to a new codeshare agreement between Qatar Airways and US Airways. The agreement is subject to both United States and foreign government approval. A filing in support of the carriers' new agreement was submitted to the U.S. Department of Transportation this week.

With this new agreement, US Airways customers will have access to Doha, Qatar, and beyond on Qatar Airways, connecting via London Gatwick; Madrid, Spain; Manchester, U.K.; Milan, Italy; Stockholm, Sweden; Zurich, Switzerland; and Athens, Greece.

Onward from Doha, US Airways customers can seamlessly connect on Qatar Airways to Dubai, U.A.E., and Kuwait City, Kuwait. Conversely, Qatar Airways customers traveling to the U.S., Canada, the Caribbean and Latin America can do so conveniently via US Airways flights departing London Gatwick, London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Madrid, Manchester, Milan, Stockholm, Zurich, Paris, Munich, Germany, Rome and Athens.

"We're delighted to offer Qatar Airways customers access to our hub cities of Charlotte, N.C., and Philadelphia with easy connections to 114 destinations throughout the United States, Canada and Latin America through US Airways' extensive route network," said Senior Vice President, Marketing and Planning Andrew Nocella.
