Qatar Airways and Moscow Domodedovo Airport commemorated fifteen years of cooperation. To celebrate the anniversary, the airline and the air hub partnered with aerospace corporation Airbus to conduct a plane spotting. Over 60 aviation photographers captured the Qatar Airways’ ?350 operating its inaugural flight to Domodedovo. The A350-900 is the latest Airbus model. Moscow Domodedovo is the only airport in Russia handling flights operated by this type of aircraft regularly. Starting 1 August, Qatar Airways’ ?350 will operate one of airline’s daily flights to Doha.
Moscow Domodedovo Airport and Qatar Airways have been cooperating since 2004, serving over 2 million passengers. Over the last fifteen years, the average annual growth rate of passenger traffic on the route has risen 15%. In 2017, the airline decided to increase flight frequency, opening a third daily flight from Moscow Domodedovo airport to Doha.
