Airbus A350 catching up on "dreamliner" as Qatar orders 80 of the long-range Airbus jets
Airbus rescued an order from Qatar Airways for 80 A350 XWB long-range planes after designing a wider body and wings to beat out Boeing's rival 787 Dreamliner.
"We have got what we want from them," Akbar al-Baker, chief executive of the state-owned Persian Gulf airline, said Tuesday in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. He said he expects to sign a firm order at the Paris Air Show in June and a preliminary agreement in weeks.
The 80 planes have a list price of EURO 12 billion (US $16 billion).
