Qatar Airways to order both Airbus and Boeing in US$15.2 billion deal...
Qatar Airways is one of the fastest growing airlines in the world with one of the youngest fleets in the skies. They have a vast range of wide-bodied aircraft with the brand new double-decker A380 Super Jumbo, the world's largest passenger plane, due for delivery in 2009. Made by European company, Airbus, this super-jet weighs in at a phenomenal 308 tonnes and is set to challenge Boeing 747's long dominance of the jumbo jet market. Dozens of airports around the world are being updated to cope with this massive aircraft and the extra passengers it will be transporting. Heathrow is spending around £450m on improvements to its Terminal 3 from where the super-jumbo will operate.
Lufthansa, Virgin Atlantic, Qantas, Emirates and Malaysian Airlines are just a few of the other airlines who have placed orders for the A380 with Emirates having placed the largest order for 45 jets. The aircraft will be equipped to carry 555 passengers although there will be capacity to carry a maximum of 840 passengers at any one time. Development of the jet has cost about $11bn to date although the airlines that have committed to buying the jets from Airbus are already spending around $40bn.
Qatar Airways currently operates an all Airbus fleet of 40 aircraft, flying to 64 destinations including Abu Dhabi, Bangkok, Cape Town, Johannesburg, Colombo, Dhaka, Mumbai, Kathmandu, Kuala Lumpur, Manila and Seychelles via Doha.
