Qatar Airways and Airbus reach amicable settlement in legal dispute
Airbus website link below, reporting that Qatar airways and Airbus have reached an amicable settlement of the A350 surface coating issue. News media also reporting that Qatar has accepted that Airbus reinstate their orders for 23 more A350's and also the 50 A321's previously cancelled by Airbus due to the dispute. Legal proceedings are discontinued. Reported that Airbus will repair the A350 surface coatings. The first of the 23 A350 deliveries are scheduled for later in 2023 and the first of the A321's are now scheduled for 2026. Remembering early reports in 2021 on the dispute that Qatar is taking legal action in London and hoping for an early resolution of the dispute, I wonder whether this settlement fits that expectation.
