Yes. It's not a Qatar Airlines plane though.

Im guessing fairly low flight hours due to VIP use?

The rarest one is the A340-213X, only one in the world and it’s still flying.

Great find! I had A7-HHH fly overhead when I was traveling to Milan last year, I'll see if i can find the photos!

A340s are pretty rare in general. I hate that they're as rare as they are. They're super cool

They are and they don't get enough love I find

This is very rare indeed.
Aside from the fact that it's the only Airbus A340-200 in the Qatar Amiri fleet, it's one of only 7 A340-200s in operation overall.
Only 28 A340-200s were built in total.
This particular one, A7-HHK first flew in April of 1993 and is now almost 31 years old. She was purpose built as a VIP aircraft and has only flown for Qatar Amiri Flight since May 1993.

Registration is A7-HHK for anyone wondering

Very. It's the Amiri Flight -200 for VIP travel.
