Qatar Airways will begin flying from Doha to San Francisco in 2018.

The airline offered no launch date or details about the frequency of the route. It was one of 12 routes Qatar unveiled Monday. The carrier currently flies to 10 U.S. cities.

According to Reuters, Qatar will further delay the launch of planned Doha-Las Vegas service. A Qatar spokesman declined to provide details on the delay in an email to Travel Weekly.

Qatar’s announcement about San Francisco service came less than a week after Emirates announced that it would reduce frequencies on five of its 12 U.S. routes. Emirates cited policies put in place by the Trump administration, including a carry-on electronics ban for passengers flying to the U.S. from the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and six other Middle Eastern and North African airports.
