Qatar Airways records success and Singapore Airshow

Qatar Airways welcomed hundreds of trade visitors and members of the media onboard its Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, which was on static display for the first time at the Singapore Airshow. Visitors were introduced to the new, premium aircraft with its unique features such as improved cabin pressure, dimmable windows and a more spacious seating configuration across both the Business and Economy cabins. 

The airline also announced on the first day of the airshow that commencing 31 March, 2014, Qatar Airways will be operating a Boeing 787 Dreamliner alongside its existing fleet of Boeing 777s on its Singapore-Doha sector – the carrier’s first route in Southeast Asia to be using the 787 aircraft. 

Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker said: “Asia is a very important market for Qatar Airways, and by exhibiting our Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft at the Singapore Airshow we are reinforcing our long-term commitment to Singapore and the rest of this region. 

“Qatar Airways became the latest airline to join the oneworld Alliance last October, and through our membership we have been able to offer our customers across Asia greater connectivity and ease of access to the 134 destinations we fly to, as well as the opportunity to experience our world-class, in-flight service,” he added.
