Qatar Airways, American Airlines Reestablish Codeshare Ties
A new pact between AA and Qatar could lead to direct flights to Doha by American.

Qatar Airways and American Airlines have reestablished ties two years after an acrimonious divorce over alleged subsidies from Persian Gulf governments to their state-owned airlines. A new code-share deal announced Tuesday links American’s U.S. hubs with Hamad International Airport in Doha, allowing Qatar Airways’ passengers seamless travel options on AA domestic flights out of Boston, Dallas, Chicago O’Hare, Los Angeles, Miami, New York JFK and Philadelphia. Under the re-activated codeshare, American Airlines said it also will explore flying direct between the U.S. and Qatar.
