In the UK court over the destiny of billions of dollars in aircraft orders, Qatar Airways and Airbus shattered their 25-year collaboration.
Qatar Airways
Singapore Airlines has taken over Qatar Airways as the world’s largest Airbus A350 operator as its fleet of widebodies continues to develop.
Qatar Airways flight QR7 operates daily between Doha Hamad International (DOH) and London Heathrow Airport. While the service is a very common aspect of the airline’s day-to-day operations, yesterday’s iteration was more special than most. This is because the revered Middle Eastern carrier operated it to celebrate 25 years of flights between Qatar and the UK.
The carrier has raised concerns that the paint degradation could permit the ingress of pollutants, damaging the lightning mesh around the jet’s fuel tanks.
Due to technical issues, a Qatar Airways flight from Delhi to Doha with over 100 passengers was diverted to Karachi airport.
Qatar Airways is seeking damages from Airbus over the planemaker’s judgment to cancel a contract for 50 A321neo jets after the Gulf carrier refused delivery of larger A350s in a row over surface flaws, according to a UK court filing.
