If that is not surprising enough, the airlines is looking forward to order 30 cargo aircrafts as part of the fleet renewal programme. Although the airline is passenger-servant at heart, lately there has been an inclination towards the cargo sector more. After announcing their multibillion-dollar investment plan for fleet renewal, the airline’s chief executive - Akbar Al Baker exclaimed his passion for being the launch customer for either the B777X freighter or the A350 freighter. Although the possibilities of these two aircrafts are still in discussion with Boeing, Airbus has been working on their prototypes of a new production freighter model that could also interest Qatar Airways.
