Qatar Airways has taken delivery of its 25th Boeing 777 aircraft. The aircraft, a Boeing 777-300 Extended Range, arrived in Doha following the overnight delivery flight from Boeing’s manufacturing factory in Washington state, US.
The latest acquisition is the 15th 777-ER in Qatar Airways’ fleet which also includes eight B777-200 Long Range versions and two 777 freighters. Qatar Airways, which began taking deliveries of the Boeing 777s in November 2007, now operates a mixed fleet of 97 Boeing, Airbus and Bombardier aircraft.
Qatar Airways’ Chief Executive Officer, Akbar Al Baker, commented; “The Boeing 777 forms the backbone of our long-haul and ultra-long-haul fleet. The latest delivery further cements our strategy in operating one of the youngest fleets in the sky with an exciting and diverse global route network covering all six continents.”
The new two-class Boeing 777-300ER features 42 Business Class seats in a 2-2-2 configuration, each seat converting into a 180-degree horizontal flat bed. The aircraft also features 293 Economy seats in a 3-3-3 layout.
