Hello Riscy,
I was informed that the decision has already been made on the A340-500. Al-Baker also said that QR will be aquiring A340-500's in an interview with a Gulf News reporter during Farnborough. The A345 is the best choice since the Amir is getting one and the Amiri fleet and QR mainline fleet are/have intergrated. Also CCQ of Airbus aircraft make sense. Do you know when the order will be anounced?
BTW Do you work for QR?
