Qatar Airways also employs its fleet of Airbus A350s and Boeing 777s on these routes. To cover longer distances, such as Doha to Sydney or Melbourne, Qatar Airways utilizes its Airbus A380 fleet. In a recent announcement at the Farnborough Airshow 2024, Qatar Airways' CEO Badar Al Meer reaffirmed the airline's commitment to the Airbus A380 superjumbo.
According to him, the Airbus A380 quadjet remains the best aircraft for routes where airports restrict capacity. This represents a significant shift in perspective on the future of the superjumbo within Qatar's fleet. The airline's former CEO, Akbar Al Baker, previously described the A380 as the company's biggest mistake.
However, when the airline reintroduced the aircraft into its fleet, Al Baker stated that the A380 would not remain a long-term solution. The new CEO noted that 2024 should have been the date it was phased out, but things have changed a lot in the last few years..
