US airlines rattled by Qatar Airways' new US routes
New York
QATAR Airways on Monday said that it plans to expand its services to the United States, in a move that rankled US airlines which accuse it of competing unfairly through state subsidies.
The Gulf carrier announced its first direct flights to Los Angeles, Boston and Atlanta from its Doha hub and its second daily flight to New York. The expansion comes as Delta Air Lines Inc, United Continental Holdings Inc and American Airlines Group Inc press for a temporary freeze on new Gulf airline service to the United States.
