Qatar Airways considers placing another order for Boeing 777X jetliner

RIYADH: Qatar Airways, the state-owned flag carrier, is considering another order of Boeing 777X jetliners as it plans to expand its fleet, according to a Bloomberg report. 

Until now, Boeing has landed just 376 orders in total for the 777X, and questions over the jet’s market are looming as delays mount. 

But Qatar Airways has expressed its willingness to stick with Boeing 777X.

“Absolutely, we will even give them a bigger order,” said Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker while talking to reporters at the Farnborough International Airshow.
