DOHA (Reuters) – Qatar Airways expects to receive its first Airbus <AIR.PA> A350-1000 jet between Feb. 15 and Feb. 20, the Middle East airline’s chief executive said on Saturday.
Qatar Airways is the launch customer of Europe’s largest twin-engined passenger jet. It was originally scheduled to receive its first of 37 on order last year.
Chief Executive Akbar al-Baker also told reporters in Doha he expected to take delivery of four A350-1000s this year.
