Qatar Airways Company

Qatar Airways currently operates a modern fleet of 58 all-Airbus aircraft to 79 destinations across Europe, Middle East, Africa, Far East, Indian subcontinent and North America. The highlight of Qatar Airways' 2007 expansion has been the launch of flights to New York (Newark) and Washington DC - the airline's first move into the North American market.

The Doha-based carrier is one of only five airlines in the world with a Five-Star ranking for service and excellence awarded by Skytrax, the independent aviation industry monitoring agency. Skytrax also named Qatar Airways' cabin crew as Best in the Middle East for the fifth year running in 2007 and Best First Class in the world following a survey of more than 12 million passengers worldwide. During the 2006/07 financial year, Qatar Airways carried more than 8 million passengers worldwide. The ongoing expansion of its global network is complemented by new orders for over 100 wide-body aircraft, including the Airbus A350-XWB and Boeing 777s.
