Qatar Airways would fly on the market in Africa, America, Asia-Pacific, and Europe with 18 A350-1000s aircraft. On Thursday, Qatar Airways confirmed that somehow three new Airbus A350-1000 widebody jets had been delivered. The aircraft did not, nevertheless, travel directly from the manufacturer’s premises in Toulouse, France. Instead, until heading east slightly south of London and afterward towards Doha in Qatar, they followed a little side trip through the English Channel.
