they changed their official name just this year after separating from Qatar Airways.
since ICAO will always use a 3 (three) letter designators to all operating agencies for the use on international aeronautical telecommunications (ref. ICAO Doc 8585), thus QAF will always remains as is. but legally they are now called Amiri Flight
but according to what i saw on the Flight plan.. just yesterday For Amiri 9.. The operators are still registered as QAF [Qatar Amiri Flight] under ICAO QAF [ QX ] since 1987
well the VIP charter department are lagging behind, per the legal documents and their operators permit it is "Amiri Flight" only.
and as you said "ex". the second aircraft have been repainted, but it still carries the same A/C Reg'n, same MSN, same ICAO Discreet 24 Bit Mode S Codes, same selcal, same owner per my record as well, so how can you call it an "EX" Amiri aircraft :/
@baldrick, you should see whats inside, even the so called economy seats on these are first class on a normal aircraft.
fyi, the second one is still in service with Amiri Flight. and it is not Qatar Amiri Flight anymore, they changed their name this year to "Amiri Flight"

The Mrs & daughter worked in Quality control for some years through the 90's when the A340 was delivered only months before Sh Khalifa was replaced.
Didn't it then become part of QA and then was re-established as Amiri Flight last year?
In total 45 747 SP were build by Boeing Company, from which some are still flying like Iran air,and some for the Amiri Fleets also

Amazing .......
In the end they all come down.
Amiri flights are used by Ministers as well....
Top deck for the Royals, economy for the servants?
at the moment yes brit.. shall be uploading the new aircraft's with the amiri flight.

Pardon my ignorance.. But is The Amiri Flight used exclusively by the Royal family ?
@ hawker FYI the VIP charter dept is still called Qatar Amiri flight services. The call sign of the aircraft's are AMIRI xxx.

The second aircraft is registered as A7-HHK & has been repainted in Qatar Airways colors.
thats a B747SP not the normal B747-200 to -400 that you usually see on commercial flight
Is it just me, or is that Jumbo really short?
fyi, the second one is still in service with Amiri Flight. and it is not Qatar Amiri Flight anymore, they changed their name this year to "Amiri Flight"
