DOHA, Qatar – Qatar Airways is pleased to announce that two of its state-of-the-art fleet will be on display at the Paris Air Show, taking place from 17-23 June at Le Bourget, France.

On display will be Qatar Airways’ A350-1000 - the world’s most technologically advanced aircraft, featuring unparalled ambience and design, contributing to superior levels of comfort and well-being and setting a new standard in terms of flight experience for all passengers.
Also on display will be the Gulfstream G500, the airline’s ultra-modern executive jet that sets an industry benchmark by offering one of the quietest cabins as well as optimum cabin altitude pressure.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: “Qatar Airways is delighted to be returning to this year’s Paris Air Show. It has already been a landmark year for us, as we took delivery of our 250th aircraft in March – an incredible achievement for an airline that started with just four aircraft in 1997. At a time when tens of thousands of visitors are coming to France to take part in the FIFA Women’s World Cup France 2019™, where we are a proud sponsor, we look forward to exhibiting at the Paris Air Show and to welcoming visitors from around the world to our stand to experience our award-winning hospitality.”
