Akbar Al Baker, group CEO, Qatar Airways, commented, “The introduction of this next-generation aircraft to the route demonstrates our commitment to providing passengers travelling to and from the US with the most modern and technologically-advanced aircraft available, ensuring that their experience is second-to-none.”

The Airbus A350-1000 offers a total of 327 seats across two cabins, with 46 Qsuite business class seats and 281 18-inch (45.72 cm) extra wide economy class seats.

The aircraft is said to enhance levels of passenger comfort, thanks to the lowest twin-engine noise level of any aircraft, advanced air conditioning technology and full LED mood lighting.
