Qatar Airways To Consolidate Fleet To 4 Aircraft T

（www.cargofee.com）New broadcast：

Typically, low-cost carriers stick to one aircraft type in order to keep costs down. This is a practice which Ryanair manages extremely well, for example. However, it seems as though full-service carriers are starting to follow suit, something which has many benefits.

Qatar Airways fleet strategy

According to data from Airfleets.net, Qatar Airways currently has eight passenger aircraft types in its fleet. This is set to halve within the next five years. In fact, Qatar Airways’ Akbar Al Baker gave the following comment in an interview with the Gulf Times:

“From 2024, our fleet will consist of Boeing 777s and 787s and Airbus A350s and A321s. At that time, there will not be any more Airbus A320s and A319s in our fleet”

This will be achieved by retiring several aircraft types. We already knew that Qatar was looking to retire the Airbus A380, however, now Qatar Airways will also retire their A330 and A320 aircraft. These aircraft will be accompanied by the carrier’s remaining A319s.

Benefits of fewer types

Having fewer aircraft types in a fleet can come with a number of benefits. These can mostly be financially based, something that is especially important with rising jet fuel costs.
