Qatar Airways recently took delivery of three more Airbus A350-1000 aircraft that will operate on strategic long-haul routes to Africa, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe.

According to an announcement, with the delivery of the new aircraft, the airline reaffirms its position as the largest operator of Airbus A350 aircraft with 52 in its fleet.

“As one of the only airlines to continue taking delivery of new aircraft at this time, our strategic investment in modern, fuel-efficient twin-engine aircraft has enabled us to continue flying taking over 2.3 million people home on more than 37,000 flights since the start of the pandemic,”Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker said.

Meanwhile, due to COVID-19’s impact on travel demand, Qatar Airways will keep its fleet of Airbus A380 grounded.

“Rather than being forced to fly oversized aircraft due to limited aircraft options, reducing the flexibility for passengers to travel when they want, Qatar Airways has a variety of sustainable aircraft it can choose from to offer more flights with the right capacity in each market,” Akbar Al Baker added.
