New airline for India and Nigeria clampdown
18th April 2012
Qatar Airways has taken delivery of its 24th and 25th Boeing 787 Dreamliners at a ceremony at Boeing’s production facility in Everett, United States.
As the Middle East launch customer for the Boeing 787, Qatar Airways received its first Dreamliner in November 2012.
“Qatar Airways was the Middle East launch customer for the Dreamliner back in 2012, and it is certainly a milestone to accept our 24th and 25th 787s into our fleet today,” said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker. “This year we have launched six new destinations in our expanding global network ... Before the end of the year, we will also add two more destinations to our network, including Durban in South Africa, and next year we will launch services to Los Angeles in January, Sydney and Boston in March, Adelaide in May, and Atlanta in June, as well a double daily frequency to New York – all of which will enable more of our passengers to experience our award-winning services on the world’s very latest aircraft, such as our new Dreamliners.”
Qatar Airways will fly its 25th Dreamliner directly to its home in Doha, the State of Qatar, and then on to the Dubai Airshow where it will be on display.
