The introduction of the A350 XWB into service will
signal a new frontier in aviation history as this will
be a brand new aircraft type projected for the industry
for the next decade. Over 70 percent of the A350 XWB’s
weight-efficient airframe is made from advanced
materials combining composites (53 percent), titanium
and advanced aluminum alloys. The aircraft’s innovative
all-new Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) fuselage
results in lower fuel burn as well as easier
maintenance.
The state owned flag carrier, Qatar Airways of Qatar has
seen rapid growth in just 17 years of operation, to the
point where today it is flying a modern fleet of 142
aircraft to 145 key business and leisure destinations
across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific,
North America and South America.
