Mr William Walsh, President of IATA has now been quoted as saying (about the Court action between Qatar Airways and Airbus over the A350 surface coating issue)...
"I would hate to think that one of the suppliers is taking advantage of their current market strength to exploit their position, and that is something we are watching very closely," Walsh told reporters when asked about the issue during a press conference.
But if Qatar Airways refuses to take delivery of any more A350's over "paint coating" issues and is asking the Court to stop Airbus delivering any more A350's and after Qatar Airways said that "with Airbus the damage is very severe, I don’t know that we will be able to work with them again" then isn't Airbus entitled to now conclude that Qatar Airways no longer wishes to do business with them? Is Airbus really obligated to do business with a customer which refuses to take delivery of airplanes and is suing it?
