Carrier Considers The Model To Be Its "Flagship" Airliner
A 25th B777 has been delivered to Qatar Airways by Boeing in a
ceremony held on April 1. The airplane is a 777-300ER (extended
range) model, which can carry up to 335 passengers in a two-class
configuration up to 7,930 nautical miles. Since placing its first
777 order in 2007, the world's fastest growing airline has expanded
to include 25 of the three newer generation 777 models. Qatar
Airways' fleet includes two long- range 777 freighters, 15 highly
efficient 777-300ERs and eight of the ultra-long-range 777-200LR
(longer range) airplanes.
"The 777 is delivering exceptional value to our airline," said
Akbar Al Baker, CEO of Qatar Airways. "The 777 is a tool for
profitability, but also delivers the highest in customer
satisfaction. Its service reliability and cabin architecture,
coupled with our innovative interiors and world-class,
award-winning in-flight service have made the 777 the airplane of
choice for our passengers.
"Qatar Airways is one of the true five-star airlines in the
world with an unparalleled fleet and outstanding service," said
Marlin Dailey, vice president Sales and Marketing, Boeing
Commercial Airplanes. "Qatar Airways is one of only seven airlines
with a Five Star ranking awarded by Skytrax. Boeing truly
appreciates its business partnership with Qatar Airways and its
commitment to the 777 family."
The airline currently operates 97 aircraft from Doha to 99
destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, North America, the
Far East and Indian subcontinent. The 777 is the flagship of the
world's most successful airlines. Its demonstrated long-range and
large payload capabilities give operators access to the world's
fastest growing passenger markets. It is consistently ranked at the
top of operator and investor pools because of its revenue
generating capabilities.
