A slightly incorrect description. It was anything but "last minute cancellation". Qatar cancelled four planes that were overdue on delivery in accordance with the contract. Was it a nice thing to do? I don't know. Did they have full legal right to do it? Yes, they did, and Airbus agreed with that. As for "to its cost", the planes were sold to another customer.
And what does it have to do with Boeing sending incomplete planes to customers?
