The
517-seat double-decker jet will be deployed on one of the airline’s
four daily Doha-Bangkok services from 5 January 2015. This will make
Thailand’s capital city the third global destination in Qatar Airways’
A380 network, following London and Paris.
Qatar Airways' A380s feature 517 seats
“Bangkok is one of the
most popular destinations for travellers around the world,” stated Qatar
Airways’ CEO, Akbar Al Baker. “Thanks to its popularity we have
witnessed a steady growth in terms of the number of passengers flying to
Bangkok over the years. Additionally, the number of Thai passengers who
travel with us to destinations around the world has also increased
significantly. Therefore, we are very much looking forward to kicking
off the new year by introducing our new A380 aircraft to Bangkok and
providing these passengers with our signature service,” he added.
Qatar
Airways’ A380 features 517 seats in three classes – eight in first
class, 48 in business class and 461 in economy. The upper deck of the
aircraft also features a lounge area for premium passengers, while Wi-Fi
will be available in all cabins.

The outbound A380 service will
operate as flight QR836, leaving Doha’s new Hamad International Airport
at 0155 and arriving at Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport at 1210. The
return service, QR833, will then depart the Thai capital at 2045,
getting back into Doha at 2355.
The A380 will replace the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft that currently operates these flights.
