For a long time, Persian Gulf airlines have been competing with each other, and Qatar Airways has recently introduced new equipment and services.British travel website Mail OnlineRecently reported that Qatar Airways' A380 was originally scheduled to launch in mid-June this year, but the launch was postponed due to the cabin ceiling not being high enough. This Airbus has eight first-class seats, which are incredibly spacious, with a width of 60 centimeters.

Passengers can remotely control the lighting and curtains. The in-flight entertainment database is astonishing, featuring a series of Tom Cruise movies; the 48-centimeter personal TV comes with a touchscreen, the dining table is foldable, and the two bathrooms boast a quality described as “as comfortable as a spa.” All faucets are sensor-operated, there are oversized sinks, and the wardrobe is as large as a locker room in a sports stadium！

The Qatar A380 is the world’s largest passenger aircraft, with a total of 525 seats across three classes, and can fly at speeds of up to 8,500 nautical miles. However, the price for such service is steep,with a round-trip between London and Doha costing €5,000 (around NT$200,000).

This national airline has ordered 10 of these aircraft and plans to begin flights on October 10, 2014, operating routes between Doha and London, and Doha and Paris.
