Qatar Virtual Presents: A340: A Fond Farewell | @ OTHH 181200ZMAY19
Event description:
On May 1st 2019, Qatar Airways scheduled their last A340 flight from Doha to Bangkok. This signals towards the end of an era of 4-engined aircraft, with Qatar Airways phasing out all 4-engined aircraft in only a few years, in favor of more efficient twin-engined aircraft such as the A350, 787 and 777X. However, fear not. We will be taking the A340 on one final flight, returning the A340 back to Toulouse, France, where Airbus is headquartered. After that, the A340 will only be available to Oryx Commanders as part of the Qatar Heritage Programme
