Qatar: Buying Airbus 380 was the biggest mistake

According to the reporter of Fars News Agency, quoted by Bloomberg, Akbar Al-Bakr, the CEO of Qatar Airways, said that the purchase of Airbus A380 was the biggest mistake.

He said: Immediately after receiving the new Airbus A380 planes, Qatar Airways will be grounded.

This Qatari official emphasized: Airbus 380 wide-body planes will not have a place in Qatar Airways in the long run.

Al-Bakar emphasized: Due to the grounding of the Qatar Airways A350 aircraft, due to the order of the Civil Aviation Authority of this country, and the lack of flight capacity, he had to keep the A380 aircraft operational at high costs.

He said that I needed their capacity and volume, and immediately after receiving new planes and providing sufficient capacity, we will abandon the 380 plane.

According to al-Bakar, since the production of Airbus 380 airplanes in the manufacturing company has been stopped, it has become very difficult to provide their spare parts. The company currently has 8 Airbus 380 aircraft, of which 7 are operational and one is grounded for use of spare parts.
