Qatar Airways is planning to use its new Airbus Corporate Jetliner (ACJ) to replace a pair of Falcon 900s used by the government and ruling family. It will also be operated on European summer-season VIP scheduled service to destinations such as London; Geneva; and Nice, France; as well as for charter or wet-lease operations in the winter.
With a load of 38 passengers, the aircraft has a range of 4,000 nm–sufficient to reach Europe, Africa and as far east as Singapore from Doha, Qatar–using its two auxiliary tanks. Senior government officials accustomed to flying short distances in the Falcon 900s are being encouraged to make use of Qatar Airways’ premium-class scheduled services.
