Scramble 468

Not taken up by Singapore Airlines this Airbus A340 was delivered to China Airlines in 2003. Three years later it was transferred to the Mandarin

Airlines fleet. In 2007 the Government of Qatar acquired the aircraft and is operating the A340 registered as A7-AAH. The majority of aircraft

are being operated by the Qatar Amiri Flight in the livery of the flag carrier of Qatar, Qatar Airways. Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani arrived

in Belgium on 5 March for an official visit with a sizeable fleet of aircraft. After its visit to Belgium the Emir continued to Bulgaria on 7 March.

Airbus A320 A7-AAG was delivered to the Government of Qatar in October 1999. Unlike most aircraft this aircraft was not delivered as a VIP

aircraft. (Brussels, 5 March 2018, Wouter Cooremans)

This rather large business jet departed the factory already in February 2012. A7-HHE spent some time in Germany for completion work and was

delivered to the Government of Qatar in January 2016. (Brussels, 5 March 2018, Steven Picalausa)
