ZAGREB, 6 July 2021 – One of the world’s most modern commercial aircraft has landed this morning at a Croatian airport for the first time.

Qatar Airways’ A350-1000 aircraft landed at Zagreb Airport for the first time in history on Tuesday morning.

The A350-1000 is the longest-fuselage version of Airbus’ family of twin-aisle, wide-body jetliners. It measures almost 74 metres from nose-to-tail and can accommodate around 400 passengers.

“Passengers can expect a spacious and quiet cabin, wider seats and elegant ambient lighting that contributes to a beautiful interior while also minimising the effects of jetlag,” is how Airbus describes the A350-1000.
