Qatar Airways has little hope that the A380 fleet, which consists of ten units, will be used again soon. Company boss Akbar Al-Baker said during a virtual conference that they will remain grounded next year and possibly also in 2022. The manager does not expect that the superjumbos will be able to be put back into scheduled service with Qatar Airways in the next few years. The fleet is to be dismantled from 2024 anyway, as the leasing contracts will end at that point. The ten aircraft are currently parked and in so-called long-term storage. Qatar's CEO criticizes competitor Emirates, which is gradually putting A380 aircraft back into scheduled service. That would be "foolish" and would lead to an oversupply of seats. This should also dampen the recovery in ticket prices, as Emirates would throw an oversupply onto the market, which would ultimately have to be sold off at a real bargain. This would also have a negative impact on competitors such as Qatar Airways.
