(MENAFN- Qatar News Agency) Doha, February 10 (QNA) - Qatar Airways will be showcasing three state-of-the-art aircraft from its fast-growing fleet at the upcoming Singapore Airshow from February 16 to 18, the airline announced Wednesday in a press release.
The carrier will be showcasing the A350, for which it was the global launch customer, and its superjumbo A380. Also appearing at the event is Qatar Executive's newly acquired Gulfstream G650ER € the industry's most advanced business jet.
Held biennially since 2008, the Singapore Airshow is widely regarded as Asia's largest and finest airshow.

"Qatar Airways is delighted to be participating again in this year's Singapore Airshow, in an increased capacity.
