Qatar Airways orders 20 extra Boeing 777-9 jets.......

Boeing and Qatar Airways announced this week at the Farnborough AirShow an order for 20 more Boeing 777-9 aeroplanes, but it is not a new order,  it is a recycled order by Boeing to enhance its media reputation at the air show. The order was originally announced earlier this year and was marked as unidentified on Boeing's Orders & Deliveries website.



"Qatar Airways is proud to announce an expansion to the existing Boeing 777X aircraft order with an additional 20, totalling 94 Boeing 777X aircraft," said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer, Engr. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer. "

"Qatar Airways is a leader in our industry, and we are honored the airline added 20 more 777-9 jets to its large Boeing order book," said Stephanie Pope, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes. "We appreciate their confidence that Boeing's market-leading widebody family will provide outstanding fuel efficiency and a superior passenger experience for its global operations."

In addition to the 777X family, Qatar Airways has 12 787 Dreamliner and 25 737 MAX aircraft on order.
