A300Man,

Justplanes is extremely inaccurate. As for the press release. Here is an excerpt from a press release from the ATM.

------------------------
"Qatar Airways recently announced the delivery of a new A330-200 and A320-200. It will shortly take delivery of a long-range A319 corporate jetliner and is one of the launch customers for the A380 'super jumbo' scheduled for delivery in 2007.

Meanwhile, the airline - one of the fastest-growing in the world - has announced that it will begin a thrice-weekly Doha-Moscow flight on August 13th, making the Russian Federation capital its 42nd destination.

Qatar Airways will fly to Moscow every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.

Flight QR 868 will leave Doha at 7.45am every Friday and Saturday, arriving Sheremetyevo at 14.00. Flight QR 866 will depart Doha at 11.25 am each Saturday and arrive Sheremetyevo at 17.40.

"This same day service is timed to suit both business and leisure travellers," said Al Baker. "There are strong and increasing tourism links between Russia and Gulf destinations and the operation of a premium service on the route is likely to attract a substantial following."

Qatar Airways will operate its Oryx Long range A319 aircraft, which seats up to 110 passengers in a two-class configuration on the route. "
