An agreement on the purchase of dozens of aircraft from the US company for Qatar Airways, today signed it, on the occasion of a visit to this independent Emirate of O.
Donald Trump himself announced that it was an order of 160 dollars of 160 aircraft. “It is the most important aircraft order in Boeing history,” the US president assured, commenting that he is “fantastic” and is a “record”.
At the signing ceremony of the deal with Qatar Airways CEO Badr Bohamed Al Meer, as well as a series of other financial agreements, was the Emir of Qatar Tamim bin Hamad al -Thani.
Trump said that during the ceremony, Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg told him that “this is the biggest ordering aircraft in history”. “So it’s a record, Kelly and congratulations to Boeing. Bring these planes here, “he added.
It is not clear which types of aircraft is seeking to buy Qatar. Boeing no longer issues price lists for its aircraft but, based on the latest published data on its more expensive jet, 777x, a deal on the purchase of 160 such aircraft amounts to about $ 70 billion. Analysts in the air transport sector also explained that airlines usually buy at a great discount when they make mass purchases.
Neither Boeing, nor Qatar Airways, however, responded to a request for a comment.
In addition to buying Boeing passenger aircraft from Qatar Airways, the two countries also signed an agreement on the sale of unmanned MQ-9B aircraft (Predator B) from Qatar’s armed forces.

Among other things, they accused the small but wealthy natural gas producer of supporting terrorism.
Today, Emir Al Thani commented that the two countries’ relations “have gone to another level”.
