Qatar Airways takes delivery of Al Maha Airways aircraft

Qatar Airways has taken delivery of four aircraft which will eventually be used by Al Maha Airways.

The four latest generation A320 aircraft, which carry the green Al Maha livery, will join the Qatar Airways’ fleet and operate on the airline’s key destinations across the Middle East, prior to the commencement of operations of Al Maha Airways.

The new airline, which will be an independent airline based in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, will operate an expanding fleet of aircraft, featuring the distinctive and familiar Oryx livery.

Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive and Al Maha Airways Chairman Akbar Al Baker said, “It is a moment of significant pride to be welcoming the first aircraft of the new Al Maha Airways fleet, let alone four such aircraft in the same day. Featuring the distinctive new livery of Al Maha Airways, these new A320 aircraft will offer passengers the opportunity to travel on board the latest and most modern aircraft in the skies.”

The four new A320 aircraft, one of the world’s most popular product types, feature the latest technology and distinctive Sharklet wingtips, and while leased to Qatar Airways will take the airline’s fleet count to 156 aircraft.
