Qatar Airways Ltd. plans to keep its Airbus SAS A330 aircraft in service longer than previously planned because its new Boeing Co. 787s aren’t arriving fast enough, its chief executive officer said.
To avoid a capacity crunch on scheduled flights, Qatar is moving protectively to upgrade some of the 29 A330s it has in its fleet, CEO Akbar Al Baker said today. Changes include new seats and in-flight entertainment, he added, without specifying how many planes will be involved.
