MIAMI – On Tuesday, June 2, Qatar Airways (QR) invited
Airways and a group of journalists to Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) for a small celebration. The occasion marked both the fifth anniversary of QR’s flying to ATL and the restart of nonstop service from ATL to Doha.
Qatar is flying an Airbus A350-900 on the route. Reporters were allowed on the ramp to watch the arrival of the A350 and also tour the aircraft to get a first-hand view of the airline’s award-winning Qsuites.
After meeting with representatives from the airline at the Maynard H. Jackson, Jr. International Terminal, airport personnel escorted us through customs and security to a VIP room where we waited until the plane was nearing the airport.
