Soon-to-be oneworld member Qatar plans to start serving Miami from next June - its sixth US city.The airline will offer four non-stop flights a week between its Doha hub and the Floridian airport, operating a Boeing 777.
Miami will be the only service in the southeast US and Florida offered by Qatar Airways.
Qatar's CEO, Akbar Al Baker said Miami was linked to its impending oneworld membership.
“The US is a growing market for us and the addition of Miami as a destination and our membership in the oneworld alliance opens up a multitude of better routes with the Middle East, East Africa, the Indian Subcontinent, and Western Australia to and from the east coast of the US.”
The carrier currently operates to Chicago, Houston, New York and Washington DC, and plans to add Philadelphia in April 2014.
