(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Qatar Airways showcased its latest generation fleet on the opening day of the Paris Air Show with five aircraft on display. As one of the world's leading and most anticipated Aviation events, the Paris Air Show takes place this week at Le Bourget, Paris and provides the world's aviation industry the opportunity to demonstrate to visiting trade, media and aviation enthusiasts alike, with the very best and latest advancements in the industry.
Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker, met with the President of France, François Hollande, as he viewed the aircraft on display, and Violeta Bulc, European Commissioner for Transport, who were provided with an exclusive tour of the Qatar Airways A350 XWB.
Qatar Airways is taking pride of place this year at the show and is displaying five of its aircraft, the A380, A350 XWB, A320, A319 and a Boeing 787 Dreamliner, the first time any airline has displayed this many aircraft.
With bespoke, highly-customised interiors, the airline's range of aircraft drew crowds gathering to see the extraordinarily wide range of the aircraft on display, in particular two of the latest entrants into the Qatar Airways fleet, the A350 XWB and the A380. The A380 entered service with Qatar Airways last autumn and Qatar Airways received the A350 XWB as Global Launch Customer in December.
"It is a proud moment to see five Qatar Airways aircraft on static display and to witness first-hand the welcome they received from the visiting crowds, all of whom wish to see the very latest generation aircraft, partnered with the Qatar Airways signature five-star service," said Akbar Al Baker.
"The Paris Air Show provides the opportunity for the aviation industry to demonstrate to the world the latest advancements made in our field, many of which can be seen on display here this week showcased with the Qatar Airways livery," he added.
