Phoenix Qatar Amiri Flight Airbus A340-200 A7-HHK 1:400 Diecast Model

1:400 Diecast: Qatar Amiri Flight Airbus A340-200 A7-HHK (Phoenix Models). This aircraft, construction number 026, has served the Qatari government for over three decades . Delivered new in early 1993, it was fitted with a VIP interior by Lufthansa Technik in Hamburg before entering service with the Qatar Amiri Flight—the VVIP charter airline owned and operated by the Qatari government for the royal family and top officials . In August 2016, it was transferred to the Qatar Executive fleet, continuing its role as a government transport while wearing the familiar Qatar Airways livery .

A rare A340-200: The A340-200 is the shortest and least-produced variant of the A340 family, with only 28 ever built . It's distinguished by its wingspan being longer than its fuselage—an unusual proportion that gives it a distinctive silhouette . Powered by four CFM56-5C engines , it was designed for extreme long-range missions, capable of flying 15,000 km (8,100 nautical miles) with a reduced passenger load . This made it ideal for government operations requiring non-stop global reach without refueling stops .

Current status: As of late 2025, A7-HHK is reported to be in storage in France . It spent most of its career shuttling Qatari leadership across the globe on diplomatic missions and state visits, operating from its base at Doha's old international airport—separate from the commercial hub at Hamad International . The aircraft is a rare example of a first-generation A340 still wearing the colors of a Gulf state's government flight .

About this model: Phoenix Models released A7-HHK (item PH11954) in January 2025 as part of their 1:400 diecast range . It captures the aircraft in its Qatar Executive livery—the white fuselage with the distinctive burgundy tail and gold Qatari flag . The model features detailed CFM56-5C engine fans, accurate landing gear, and the extended wingspan that makes the A340-200 visually unique . For collectors of government aircraft, rare A340 variants, or Gulf state aviation history, this represents a significant piece with a three-decade service story .
