Qatar Airways has placed a mega order with American aircraft manufacturer Boeing. The oil-state airline placed an order for 787 Boeing 9-777 Dreamliners and ten 300-11,5ERs worth $XNUMX billion.

In addition, a letter of intent was signed for the purchase of sixty 737 MAX 8s, with a total value of almost $ 7 billion.

This letter of intent for the 737s is a heavy blow to competitor Airbus. Qatar Airways is dissatisfied with the production problems with the A320neo. The order that the Arabs already placed for this type of aircraft with the European Airbus could well be cancelled.

Qatar Airways is the national airline of Qatar and is based in Doha. It flies to more than 100 international destinations with a fleet of approximately 150 aircraft. It is one of six airlines worldwide with a five-star rating from Skytrax. On October 30, 2013, the airline became a full member of the Oneworld alliance.
