Qatar Airways recently became the first airline in the world to deploy Airbus A350 aircraft for conducting flights to the United States. It is also the global launch carrier of the A350 and the world’s first to fly the aircraft to three continents as well.
Media reports said that Qatar Airways will launch its daily flights to Philadelphia from Doha effective January 1, 2016 utilizing its Airbus A350 aircraft.
The airline will be taking delivery of its eighth A350 before the end of 2015. More A350s will also be joining the airline’s fleet throughout 2016. The new generation aircrafts promise to provide a unique flying experience to the passengers.
According to the reports, Qatar Airways will deploy the new A350 to conduct flights to Boston starting from March 16 next year. The second daily A350 flights to New York will be launched from April 1, while the third service will be introduced on Doha-Adelaide route starting May 2.
Akbar Al Baker, Group Chief Executive of Qatar Airways, said, “It is a matter of great pride that the airline is the global launch customer of the new-generation Airbus A350 aircraft. The company is excited to introduce the aircraft to the American market from New Year. It is hoped that the aircraft will become a preferred choice in future with its unmatched cabin comfort and quietness.”
Al Baker said that the business class cabin on the aircraft would be offering 36 seats in a 1-2-1 reverse herringbone layout with direct aisle access to each passenger. The seats are a couple inches wider, and will offer ample storage space and a universal power outlet. There is also a bar area as well to keep the fliers entertained on board their flights.
