After a year on the ground, Qatar Airways A350s are flying passengers once again. As of now, 14 aircraft have been returned to service. With so many planes grounded, it’s no surprise that it’ll take time to get all A350s up and running again. After further examination of the paint crisis, it’s clear that some aircraft will need to be worked on more than others, meaning that the remaining aircraft will need to remain parked for an extended period of time.
