Qatar Airways Signs Firm Order for 50 Airbus A321neo ACF

Qatar Airways has re-affirmed its earlier order for 50 A320neo with a firm order for 50 A321neo ACF (Airbus Cabin Flex configuration).

This updated order, valued at US$6.35 billion at list prices, replaces the original one placed in 2011. The aircraft will join Qatar Airways’ fleet of 50 A320ceo from 2019 onwards.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said, “At a time when Qatar Airways is experiencing unprecedented growth and expansion the need for efficient, reliable and modern aircraft has never been greater. To answer our need for growth and additional capacity, the A321neo ACF is a world-class choice for our passengers and for our business. Qatar Airways is the fastest growing airline in the world and with this aircraft we will operate the youngest fleet whilst delivering unprecedented comfort and services to our customers.”

The A321 is the largest member of the A320 Family, seating up to 240 passengers.

The A321neo ACF introduces new door and fuselage enhancements allowing airlines to make better use of the cabin space and also provide provision for more underfloor fuel capacity for up to 4,000nm transatlantic range.
