Boeing is flight testing Qatar Airways’ first ultra-long-haul 777-200LR, which is set to inaugurate direct services from Doha to Houston in late March. The carrier was originally due to start direct flights to Houston in December 2008, but was forced to delay the start of services because of the production hold-up at Boeing caused by a machinists’ strike. The aircraft is the first of eight -200LRs on order, and is powered with an up-rated version of General Electric’s GE90-115B engine to cope with the high temperatures of Qatar’s desert home.
