 Qatar ready for B777 freighters
QatarAirways has announced new routes and more airport infrastructure ahead of next year's opening of the NewDohaInternationalAirport.
The carrier takes delivery of its first Boeing 777 freighter next week, with two more to follow.
Qatar Airways ceo Akbar Al Baker said: "With our new freighter aircraft, we will have greater flexibility, flying to more destinations, further afield from our Doha hub. They will fly alongside our three Airbus A300 Freighters, which currently form the airline's cargo fleet.
"Also, since February, we have opened up new routes in India, Turkey, Denmark and Japan. And June will be a busy month for us as we prepare to launch flights to a second Spanish destination, and enter South America for the first time with flights to Brazil and Argentina."
The fleet size will rise to 120 aircraft and destinations served increase to 120 over the next three years.
The airline currently has orders in place for more than 200 aircraft worth over US$40 billion.
