Last year, Qatar sued Airbus for at least $1.4 billion after grounding nearly half its A350 fleet over premature surface damage. The Gulf carrier declined to take delivery of more A350s and took the case to court while also releasing a damning video montage of at least&nbsp;three separate airframes showing degraded paintwork, which led Airbus also to cancel <a href=\"http:\/\/www.qatarairways.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Qatar\u2019s <\/a>order for 50 A321neos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Also, read          <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2022\/09\/08\/indian-aviation-industrys-fy23-net-loss-at-rs-15000-17000-crore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Indian aviation industry\u2019s FY23 net loss at Rs 15,000-17,000 crore<\/a>          <\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2021\/07\/19\/karnataka-government-break-buildings-taller-than-45m-near-jakkur-airport\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Karnataka Government: Break buildings taller than 45m near Jakkur airport<\/a>          <\/strong><\/li><li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/index.php\/2021\/08\/12\/jet-airways-actively-hiring-experienced-cabin-crew\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Jet Airways Actively Hiring Experienced Cabin Crew<\/a><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Qatar Airways brought the case to European courts, hoping to receive backing from the justice there, forcing Airbus to restart the deliveries of the A321neos order and get an explanation from Airbus regarding the lost patches of anti-lightning mesh left exposed by peeling paint in its A350s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nonetheless, a court in London ruled in April that Airbus did not have to continue building the planes for the airline. The court agreed with Airbus that the 2 contracts (for the A350 and the A321neo) were connected by a \u2018cross default\u2019 clause, which permitted the OEM to pull the plug on one deal if the other was not honored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the Farnborough Airshow in July, Qatar confirmed a Memorandum of Understanding for 25 Boeing MAX 10 plus 25 options. Nonetheless, Qatar had claimed in the past that it would be unable to fill the gap left by the lack of the A321neos, even with the order for MAX jetliners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As information by Air Insight, Qatar A350-1000s that have been assembled but are currently stored in Toulouse are MSN409, MSN430, MSN438, MSN440, MSN444, and MSN450. All these planes, except for MSN450, had done their 1st flight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-airbus-had-booked-orders-for-843-jets-between\">Airbus had booked orders for 843 jets between<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Airbus had booked orders for 843 jets between January and August 2022.
