Qatar Airways will fly the A380 superjumbo to the United States for the first time on June 1, the airline said on Wednesday.
The Doha carrier announced the one-off service with the A380 to Atlanta, with the regular daily service using a Boeing 777 aircraft.
Operated in a tri-class configuration, the upper deck offers eight seats in First Class, 48 in Business Class and a lounge for premium passengers, and 461 Economy Class seats spread across both decks.
Qatar Airways currently operates six Airbus A380s in its fleet, which are regularly scheduled to London Heathrow, Paris and Bangkok. Qatar Airways originally ordered 13 Airbus A380s, with seven to be delivered.
The airline has selected Atlanta as its first United States route to receive the superjumbo to celebrate the launch of its tenth new destination to the US. There are presently no other scheduled A380 services by the carrier to other points on its Americas footprint.
Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker said: “Qatar Airways will inaugurate Atlanta, its tenth destination to the United States, in just a few weeks’ time and in honour of that, we wished to provide our passengers with a unique experience, in addition to the Airbus A350 and the Boeing 777 which are signature products that we currently fly across all our gateways in the United States.
“We look forward to welcoming our passengers to and from Atlanta on our inaugural flight on June 1, but also on every flight thereafter. We look forward to serving the global travel needs of the people of Atlanta.”
