To the delight of spotters and aviation enthusiasts, Qatar Airways sent its famous Boeing 777–300 for the first time to commemorate its 25th anniversary to Guarulhos (GRU), yesterday morning (13).
The painting in question recalls its first years of operations, when the company started operating the 727 trijets.
With just over 13 hours and 40 minutes of duration, the A7-BAC completed flight QR779 in the morning, a period of the day that contributed to the recording of its operations.
Interestingly, this is not the first time that the A7-BAC has visited Guarulhos, noting that this is its first operation with the new “livery”, as Qatar Airways regularly employs the Boeing 777-300ER to Guarulhos.

A brief history of Qatar Airways:
Founded in 1993 and starting operations in 1994, Qatar Airways is the national airline of the State of Qatar. Its first air operations made the company a small state-owned regional carrier, including the official transport of authorities.
However, in 1997, the airline was relaunched, this time with the focus on becoming an international airline with a high standard of service and excellence, with the aim of competing with Emirates and Etihad Airways.
Currently, according to data from the planespotters.net, Qatar Airways has a fleet of 233 aircraft divided between the Airbus A320, A321, A330, A350 and A380, as well as the Boeing 747, 777 and 787 Dreamliner.
Focused on offering a high standard of service, the airline is one of the few to win 5 stars from Skytrax, earning important awards for the services of its crew, being elected the best airline in the world in 2012.
Finally, in addition to air services, the company has become a sponsor of events and sports teams in recent years.
