Fleet development

Qatar Airways began operations using a Boeing 767-200ER wet-leased from Kuwait Airways, and two Airbus A310 aircraft. Throughout 1995 and 1996, Qatar Airways began operating the Boeing 747. [39] The airline took delivery of its first Airbus A300 in 1997, and its first Airbus A320 in February 1999.

In 2001, Qatar Airways ordered two Airbus A380 aircraft, becoming the ninth operator of the type. The first A380 was delivered in 2014. The airline also added Airbus A321s, Airbus A330s, and Airbus A340s starting between 2004 and 2006.

In May 2007, Qatar Airways and Airbus signed a memorandum of understanding, with the airline ordering 80 brand new Airbus A350s. Qatar Airways became the launch customer of the A350, taking delivery of its first aircraft in December 2014. Later in November 2007, Qatar Airways ordered the Boeing 787-8, [40] as well as the Boeing 777. The airline ordered three variants: the -300ER, the -200LR, and the 777F.

The newest addition to the fleet is the Boeing 737 MAX 8, which Qatar Airways began operations with in 2023. The airline has orders for the Boeing 737 MAX 10, the Airbus A321neo, and the Boeing 777X.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Airbus A350</span> Family of long-range, wide-body jet airliners

The Airbus A350 is a long-range, wide-body twin-engine airliner developed and produced by Airbus. The initial A350 design proposed in 2004, in response to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, would have been a development of the Airbus A330 with composite wings and new engines. Due to inadequate market support, Airbus switched in 2006 to a clean-sheet "XWB" design, powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent XWB high bypass turbofan engines. The prototype first flew on 14 June 2013 from Toulouse, France. Type certification from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) was obtained in September 2014, followed by certification from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) two months later.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Twinjet</span> Jet aircraft powered by two engines

A twinjet or twin-engine jet is a jet aircraft powered by two engines. A twinjet is able to fly well enough to land with a single working engine, making it safer than a single-engine aircraft in the event of failure of an engine. Fuel efficiency of a twinjet is better than that of aircraft with more engines. These considerations have led to the widespread use of aircraft of all types with twin engines, including airliners, fixed-wing military aircraft, and others.
