Qatar Airways and Airbus <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Qatar Airways <\/a>and Airbus both saw some wins and losses in court this week. The biggest takeaway was the High Court’s decision to approve a quick trial, potentially set for a three-month time next summer. However, the court also dismisses arguments over the re-sale of produced A350s that Qatar refuses to accept. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

High Court in London has accepted QR’s argument <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Qatar Airways-Airbus fight has barreled into a full-blown legal conflict and is now headed for trial. According to Reuters, the High Court in London has accepted QR’s statement that the question over the A350’s protective covering is one of “public interest” and warrants a trial as quickly as likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this does not indicate anything about the final judgment, the airline will see this as a win in its books<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

However, Airbus didn’t leave the court empty-handed. The judge permitted the European giant’s request to not split the trial in two, removing the necessity for further technical analysis, and accepting the recent research. Also, Airbus will be permitted to keep trying to deliver aircraft to Qatar Airways and has the power to resell the jets if it wants to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the contract still in place, Airbus will be able to claim economic damages from Qatar’s failure to pay the fixed amounts it must. This could trigger massive payments were the case to fail next year and result in a loss for the Middle Eastern carrier. However, until then, Airbus <\/a>is stuck holding onto dozens of A350 deliveries that are moving nowhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
