First Qatar A350 flight to Frankfurt

Qatar Airways performed the inaugural flight with the Airbus A350 XWB from Doha to Frankfurt on 15 January. The Qatar Airways A350 will be flying daily on the DOH-FRA route with 283 seats (36 business and 247 economy class) on board.


It was not the first visit of an A350 to Frankfurt. In the Summer of 2014, the airport als welcomed an Airbus A350 test flight from Iqualit (YFB) in the Canadian Arctic to Frankfurt. The airport is glad with the significant reduction in noise emissions achieved by the A350. Airlines are rewarded for deploying the most advanced low-noise aircraft at Frankfurt Airport, thanks to a proactive strategy of structuring landing fees on the basis of the actual noise generated by a plane.
