Qatar Airways plans to retire their A330s

Qatar Airways plans to retire all of their Airbus A330s within the next three years, by replacing them entirely with A350s and 787s.

The airline recently phased out A340-600s, so the plan is now to do the same for A330s. At the moment Qatar Airways has a fleet of 25 A330s, including 12 A330-200s and 13 A330-300s.

Qatar Airways’ A330 business class

Qatar Airways’ average fleet age for their A330s is 11 years. That’s pretty young in absolute terms, though Qatar Airways has an especially young fleet, so for them it’s getting quite old.

I am curious what they’ll do with these planes. We know that they’re leasing several of them to Air Italy, as Air Italy will no longer get 787s. So I wonder if the plan is for most of these planes to go to Air Italy, or what.

We also learned a few months ago that Qatar Airways plans to retire their A380s at the ten year mark, meaning they’ll start to retire them in 2024.

Qatar Airways has quite a few wide body planes on order at the moment, including:

• 3 A350-900s
• 35 A350-1000s
• 10 777-8s
• 50 777-9s
• 30 787-9s

While I can appreciate the desire to diversify their fleet a bit, I’ve never quite understood why Qatar Airways chose to operate so many aircraft type. Currently their wide body fleet consists of A330-200s, A330-300s, 777-200LRs, 777-300ERs, 787-8s, A350-900s, A350-1000s, and A380-800s, and they’ll add 787-9s, 777-8s, and 777-9s to the mix.
