Qatar continue to use various equipment types. Although subject to change, another 773ER due in on Saturday. An A333 scheduled the following Saturday. Must be quite a dilemma for anyone booked in J. Imagine having your seat assignment changed due to an equipment change.

August 2022 pax statistics have been published.

QR - EDI/DOH route transported 17,350 in August. A very strong performance considering travel to certain Asian destinations and Australia/NZ was still heavily restricted.

@Jetsco thanks once again for your updates here. Are you in a position to add anything to any of the other EDI threads?

Their was a 351 damaged last week the engine was hit by I believe to be a vehicle
773 brought in the next day. A C17 of the Qatar airforce brought in a new engine. The 351 departed 2 days late at night, unknown if it had any passengers, the C17 left the morning after.

My understanding is that one of the two air bridges used connected with and damaged the engine casing. The ground handlers Swissport staff are responsible for connecting air bridges to aircraft. It’s also very rare for EDI to use double bridges on a single aircraft. An A351 is longer than a 359. The benefit of double air bridges is primarily to expedite the boarding process.

Yes your mostly likely correct the info I had it was a hi lift vehicle but could not be confirmed.

As previously reported, QR are using an A333 on tomorrows service. In-bound J is sold out. Outbound is sold out in economy and only 2 seats available in J. It would appear the route continues to be very busy.

 

[Jetsco]

A very rare visitor to EDI scheduled for next Tuesday. Schedule showing Qatar using a 772LR. This aircraft type is normally used by QR on certain American and Australian routes.
