Airbus to deliver first A350 jetliner to Qatar Airways on Dec 13

DUBAI (Reuters) - Qatar Airways will receive Airbus' newest plane, the A350 jetliner, on December 13, the Gulf carrier said in a statement on Thursday.

The aircraft would be the first of the 80 jets ordered by Qatar Airways, making it the first airline to receive AIRBUS (EAD.PA) latest plane.

The A350 is made with carbon composite fuselage and is a direct competitor to Boeing's composite 787 Dreamliner.

Qatar Airways said it would first deploy the jet for commercial service on the Frankfurt route from January 2015.
