BOEING DELIVERS QATAR AIRWAYS’ 100TH AIRPLANE

The Doha-based airline now operates 27 Boeing 777s of various types, including 16 777-300ERs (extended range), two 777 freighters and nine 777-200LRs. Qatar Airways has 13 more Boeing 777s of different variants scheduled for delivery. “Since we received our first Boeing 777 in November, 2007, the airplane has earned itself a reputation for comfort, versatility and reliability and it is only fitting that our 100th aircraft is a 777,” said Akbar Al Baker, the CEO of Qatar Airways. “From an operational perspective, the 777 has enabled us to pursue our aggressive global expansion plans, allowing us to operate direct non-stop flights from our Doha hub in Qatar to destinations such as Sao Paolo in Brazil and Melbourne in Australia in a costeffective manner. “From a passenger perspective, the airplane offers unparalleled reliability, while its cabin architecture, combined with our award-winning Five-Star service and interiors, makes for one of the finest flying experiences for passengers today,” Al Baker said. “In just over a decade, Qatar Airways has grown to become a world-class, awardwinning airline with a rapidly expanding network spanning six continents. This is a tremendous achievement by any measure and we are proud the 777 was selected to play a key role in this success story,” Boeing Commercial Airplanes president and CEO Jim Albaugh said.
