Qatar signs $200 billion deal to buy jets from Boeing during Trump visit

  • During President Trump’s visit to Doha on Wednesday, Qatar Airways formalized a $96 billion deal to purchase up to 210 aircraft, including Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner models and the upcoming 777X jets.
  • The deal comes after prolonged discussions with Qatar's Emir and follows Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg’s appointment amid challenges related to the company’s safety and quality management.
  • The order includes 130 Dreamliners, 30 Boeing 777-9 jets still awaiting FAA certification, and options for 50 additional aircraft powered by GE Aerospace engines.
  • President Trump described the deal as Boeing's biggest jet order ever, while analysts pointed out that deliveries are expected to take several years because of existing industry delays.
  • The deal represents a significant boost for Boeing and solidifies Qatar Airways' fleet plans but raises questions about extended delivery timelines and current certification delays.
