Airbus Revokes Qatar Order for 50 A321neos
As Airbus and Qatar Airways prepare to go to court in April over their A350 dispute, the OEM cancels the airline’s order for A321s.

Airbus confirmed Friday that it has canceled an order for 50 A321neos from Qatar Airways amid an escalating dispute over surface degradation on some of Qatar’s A350s. The contract, which called for first deliveries in 2023, originally specified 40 smaller A320neos and was renegotiated in 2017 to increase the number and size of airplanes to 50 A321neos.
