This past week Lucky noted that the first Qatar Airways A380 was delivered. It’s been a bizarre, bumpy road getting there not least of which because of the Qatar Airways CEO’s truthiness problem.
Interestingly, Qatar doesn’t actually own their A380, it’s leased through a UK leasing company. And UK regulations required the aircraft to be in UK airspace when the transaction took place.
So from Thursday…
The Qatar Airways A380 needs to be filed under: Things that make you go hmmm.
Last month I asked whether the Airbus A380 is a failure.
