Qatar Airways held a large press briefing along with Airbus at the Airbus Factory in Hamburg, Germany, as the airline took delivery of its first A380.
With 10 Airbus A380-800s on order, Qatar Airways is preparing to take delivery of four of them before the end of 2014.
The airline will first introduce A380 services on one of its frequencies on the Doha – London route from October, followed by Paris Charles De Gaulle shortly thereafter.
The 517-seat aircraft is spread across twin decks in a tri-class configuration of 8 seats in First Class; 48 seats in Business Class and 461 in Economy Class.
In the last quarter of 2014, it is expected that the airline will start receiving its first A350 XWB aircraft as the world’s launch customer.
