Qatar Fleet News
I note from the winter schedules ahead that QR appears to be reducing the number of A300's it operates, and gradually replacing them with other types (A332 / A333) on the timetable.
Am in the process of booking a year end trip to BKK, and note that the aircraft operating my flight is listed as 343.
I knew that QR was considering bringing on an A340-200 for some regional flights (DXB and JED), but the A340-300 is listed as operating the daily DOH-BKK evening flight, which departs DOH at 20:30 local, through December and January at least.
Does anyone know if they indeed ARE bringing in A340-200's & 300's? And if so, why???? Is there a shortage of A330's (used) on the market? It would seem quite strange to introduce yet another newish type to the mainline fleet, unless market availability of preferred types was a constraint.
In any case, I am looking forward to flying on it, just for the sake of it.......
