Qatar Airways will deploy its new, state-of-the-art Airbus A350 XWB aircraft on its Doha Munich route.

From October 1, 2015, the Doha-based airline will put its new aircraft into service to Munich, alongside its existing Boeing 787 Dreamliner service on one of the two double-daily flights to Munich.

Beginning November 1, 2015, the second daily flight to Munich will also be operated by the A350 XWB, further strengthening the airline’s position as a world-class airline providing passengers with an exclusive premium travel experience.

“The introduction of the A350 XWB aircraft to the Doha-Munich sector, which is an important and strategic route for Qatar Airways, will redefine the inflight experience for passengers travelling through Doha between Munich and key destinations in the Middle East, the Indian subcontinent, Africa, Asia-Pacific and the Americas,” said Qatar group chief executive, His Excellency Akbar Al Baker.

Qatar Airways’ A350 XWB boasts outstanding levels of comfort with a spacious seating configuration. Wider seats in both Business and Economy classes, the lowest twin engine noise level of any aircraft, advanced air-conditioning technology, and full LED mood lighting, all work together to enhance the comfort of passengers, while reducing fatigue after a long flight.

The new aircraft feature 283 seats, with 36 in Business Class in a 1-2-1 configuration featuring 80-inch fully-flat beds, and 247 seats in Economy Class in a 3-3-3 layout. All Business Class sets have direct aisle access with 17-inch HD screens, while Economy Class seats feature 10.6-inch screens and more space in window seats thanks to a vertical side wall panel design.

Qatar recently launched the A350 XWB aircraft in Asia- Pacific when it flew the aircraft into Singapore. The announcement of the Munich connection means that Singapore-based passengers can now travel all the way from Singapore to Germany – via Doha – on the innovative new aircraft. www.qatarairways.com
