Qatar Airways has served as a crucial artery linking two global energy hubs for nearly two decades, cementing its status as a premier carrier in international travel. 

Houston Airports joins the award-winning airline in celebrating a milestone: 15 years of air service between George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) and the vibrant metropolis of Doha. 

The inaugural flight took off in March 2009. Qatar has offered daily nonstop service from Houston ever since. In 2014, just before the 10-year anniversary, Qatar Airways carried its one-millionth passenger on the Houston/Doha route.

Houston Airports exists to connect the people, businesses, cultures and economies of the world to Houston. Since the first commercial flight, Houston Airports has worked to also add cargo air service via Qatar Airways Cargo, which operates twice-weekly freighter flights between Doha and Houston. 

The Houston–Doha route is a gateway to the world's leading destinations across Africa, Asia, Australia, India and the Middle East. Houstonians seeking adventure and relaxation have been whisked to exotic locales like Delhi, Katmandu and the Maldives, courtesy of the airline's comprehensive flight offerings.
