Qatar Airways could easily increase the number of destinations to 190 from 177, but that would depend on aircraft deliveries, said the CEO Akbar Al Baker. The airline is being conservative because of its dependence on new deliveries from Airbus or Boeing amidst still festering supply gaps. “We have already started taking deliveries of Boeing 737 Max aeroplanes, (but) have a delay in the delivery of 787s and 777X. We were expecting a large number of 777-9 to be delivered this year.
