Qatar Airways stole the limelight during the opening of Eurasia Airshow, a new aviation industry event hosted for the first time in Antalya, Turkey. Visitors to the airshow were able to experience two of the airline’s most advanced passenger aircraft, the Airbus A350-1000 and the premium Qatar Executive Gulfstream G650ER.
Airbus A350-1000 features the revolutionary Qsuite Business Class seat, while the Gulfstream G650ER is a premium Qatar Executive aircraft and an industry-leading long range business jet. Visitors were welcomed on board both aircrafts to experience the bespoke interiors and the award-winning service provided by Qatar Airways.
The national carrier of the State of Qatar currently operates direct flights to Istanbul’s Sabiha Gökçen Airport twice daily, to Istanbul Atatürk Airport ten times weekly, to Adana Airport three times weekly, a daily service to Ankara’s Esenboğa Airport and three times weekly to Hatay Airport, bringing the total to 37 weekly flights between Doha and Turkey.
Qsuite features the industry’s first Business Class fully lie-flat double bed, a revolutionary quad design offering passengers a private and fully adaptable space – the first and only of its kind – in addition to movable TV monitors and privacy dividers, which transform the space into an area perfect for socialising.
The airline recently took delivery of its fourth state-of-the-art Gulfstream G650ER executive aircraft, the fastest ultra-long-range business jet in the world, making Qatar Airways the world’s largest owner-operator of Gulfstream G650ERs. Qatar Executive has a total of 30 Gulfstream aircraft on order, a combination of the G500, G600 and G650ERs.
Starting 1 July, Qatar Airways will also begin operating a Boeing B787 between Doha and Sabiha Gökçen International Airport in Istanbul, to accommodate the increase in summer traffic to and from the renowned destination.
