Fleet development
Qatar Airways began operations using a Boeing 767-200ER wet-leased from Kuwait Airways, and two Airbus A310 aircraft. Throughout 1995 and 1996, Qatar Airways began operating the Boeing 747. The airline took delivery of its first Airbus A300 in 1997, and its first Airbus A320 in February 1999.
In 2001, Qatar Airways ordered two Airbus A380 aircraft, becoming the ninth operator of the type. The first A380 was delivered in 2014. The airline also added Airbus A321s, Airbus A330s, and Airbus A340s from 2004 to 2006.
In May 2007, Qatar Airways and Airbus signed a memorandum of understanding for 80 brand new Airbus A350 XWB aircraft. Qatar Airways became the launch customer of the A350, taking delivery of its first aircraft in December 2014. Later, in November 2007, Qatar Airways ordered the Boeing 787 Dreamliner as well as the Boeing 777. The airline ordered one variant of the former: the -8, and three variants of the latter: the -200, the -200LR, and the -F.
The newest addition to the fleet is the Boeing 737 MAX 8, which Qatar Airways began operations with in 2023. The airline has orders for the Airbus A321neo, Airbus A350, Boeing 777X, and the Boeing 787. In May 2025, Qatar Airways cancelled its order for 50 Boeing 737 MAX 10 aircraft.
