Qatar Airways will utilise a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft on its service between Doha and Zagreb on a one-off basis this December. It represents an upgrade on its usual Airbus A320 equipment and marks the fifth time the airline will use a wide-body aircraft on its Zagreb service this year. Qatar Airways will deploy its 254-seat B787-8 on December 27. The aircraft features 22 seats in business class and the remaining 232 in economy. Last-minute equipment swaps and changes remain possible.

Qatar Airways registered 50.072 travellers on board its Zagreb service during the first half of the year, representing a decrease of 14.3% on the back of reduced frequencies. The Qatari carrier’s average cabin load factor on the route stood at 87.4%.
