The Seattle-Doha shuttle
Just imagine a flight from Seattle to Doha every 15 minutes - Well for an hour yesterday, that was exactly what happened.
In what was described as “an unprecedented event” Qatar Airways took delivery of four Boeing widebodies on the same day and within an hour.
The airline took delivery of four Boeing aircraft – three 787s and a 777.
“Never in the history of an airline have so many aircraft been taken in just one day,” CEO Akbar Al Baker was quoted as saying at the Flightglobal conference in Madrid.
Qatar Airways holds orders for 94 777s and 30 787s.
