The Arab airline Qatar Airways wants to buy a maximum of 210 jets from Boeing. The Dreamliner and 777X machines have a volume of $ 96 billion (equal to 86 billion euros), the White House said.
It is the largest order for Boeing large -scale aircraft so far. The companies signed the agreement when visiting US President Donald Trump in Qatar. Company boss Kelly Ortberg was there for Boeing. In the meantime, Trump brought the volume to $ 200 billion before the White House called the 96 billion number. Details of the deal remained unclear. It was not communicated whether they are fixed orders or options.
The American aircraft manufacturer Boeing has been in a crisis for years and recently remained in orders behind the European rival Airbus. In addition, there were a few years of postponing a few years when developing the first aircraft of the 777X family, which should replace the current 777 models. At the same time, orders for one hundred machines of the type already collected at Boeing.
Trump has been in the golf region since Tuesday and had many economic bosses by his side at the first stop in Saudi Arabia. Saudi leadership announced billions of investments in the United States and also agreed with the White House on a large -scale armament.
