Qatar Airways Takes Delivery of Two More Boeing 787 Dreamliners

Qatar Airways has taken delivery of its 24th and 25th Boeing 787 Dreamliners.

As the Middle East launch customer for the Boeing 787, Qatar Airways received its first Dreamliner in November 2012. Since then the airline has continued to expand as one of the world’s fastest growing airlines and it now flies to more than 150 destinations, with its fleet of Dreamliners serving 30 of those global destinations, including Amsterdam, Casablanca, Cape Town, Rome, and Tokyo Haneda.

“This year we have launched six new destinations in our expanding global network and these 787s will enable even more of our passengers to experience the genuine difference offered by travelling in one of the world’s latest aircraft,” said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Mr. Akbar Al Baker. “The larger windows with custom dimmers, the lower altitude cabin pressure with rapid air circulation, and the very latest in IFE and seat technology all provide our passengers with the five-star experience that they have come to expect from us as one of the world’s leading airlines.”

Qatar Airways 787 has 254 custom-made seats across its Business and Economy Class cabins with specially designed interiors. Business Class is configured 1–2–1 with 22 seats, while Economy has 232 seats in a 3–3–3 layout. All seats in Business Class are fully reclinable.

The airline’s 787s are fully connected with wireless facilities for passengers to remain in touch with friends and colleagues on the ground through the internet and SMS mobile texting across both the Business and Economy cabins.

“Before the end of the year, we will 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,” added Mr. Al Baker.
