Qatar Airways will resume daily Doha-Philadelphia service on August 1, 2026, using Airbus A350-900 aircraft, taking over the route from American Airlines

## Summary

Qatar Airways has officially announced the resumption of daily flights between Doha (DOH) and Philadelphia (PHL) starting August 1, 2026. The carrier will operate flights QR727 (DOH to PHL, departing 8:00 AM) and QR728 (PHL to DOH, departing 9:30 PM) using Airbus A350-900 aircraft.
