american airlines on friday said it would cut more international flights over the summer than
originally planned as it deals with delays and deliveries of the boeing 787 dreamliner
long haul jet the plane has been plagued by major production problems after initial manufacturing
floods were discovered in the summer of 2020 and deliveries have been suspended since last may
boeing is in negotiations with u.s aviation authorities and unwilling to commit to a date to
restart deliveries american was expecting boeing to deliver all 13 of the 787 dreamliners it's
owed this year but instead it expects to receive only 10 of them with the remaining three being
delivered in 2023 despite this issue american still says the aircraft is an essential part of
its fleet and that it has tremendous confidence in the aircraft and will continue to work with boeing
on their delivery americans said that boeing will compensate the airline for its failure to deliver
and that its relationship with the plane maker is still intact but while the two are still on
good terms delivery issues for a boeing appear not to be going anywhere anytime soon the manufacturer
has estimated that the setbacks with the 787 will cost them 5.5 billion dollars between
compensation paid to customers additional work to be done on the planes and the slowdown of products
despite the dispute with airbus qatar still wants a 321 neo aircraft qatar airways has asked the
court hearing its lawsuit with airbus to order the manufacturer to deliver the 50 a321 neo aircraft
that was cancelled at the end of last month in the filing to uk court hearing the multi-million
dollar lawsuit the carrier brought against the manufacturer over a350 problems the qatari
airline asked the court to reinstate the order for 50 aircraft that the european gian revoked
last january if this is not possible it asks for compensation yet to be established as reparation
for the manufacturer's untimely and unilateral decision to suspend delivery of the unit's
yahoo reports in late 2021 qatar airways sued airbus over the deterioration of the a350 fuselage
service seeking more than 600 million dollars in compensation in response to qatar airways claims
airbus terminated the carriage order of 50 airbus a321 neo aircraft in january 2022.
however the uk court ordered airbus to freeze the cancellation on february 18th 2022 the
tower airways welcomes the decision off the high court on friday 18 february 2022 which issued
an injunction against airbus the essence of the order is that airbus must not do anything between
the date of the order and further hearing in april that would adversely affect its ability to comply
with any court order that qatar airways might obtain in relation to the purported cancellation
of the a321 contract according to qatar airways statement released on february 28 2022 over the
course of 2021 much has unfolded in this dispute qatar airways grounded its affected a350s under
the guidance of qatar's civil aviation authority with the airline later halting deliveries of
outstanding a350 orders later in the year airbus stated that it was seeking a legal assessment as
it felt that an undisclosed airline likely qatar airways was damaging its reputation because of
the ongoing pain and surface degradation claims the entire situation further escalated with qatar
airways filing a lawsuit and uk high court the carrier is also seeking 600 million dollars in
damages and compensation over the grounding of its a350 aircraft according to reuters a procedural
hearing on the cases scheduled in london during the week of april 26th while airbus admitted that
quality problems exist it accused the airline of exaggerating them as safety problems in order to
obtain financial compensation moreover airbus has made clear its position it stated that the qcaa
is not an independent body and that it served in rests of qatar airways hence like everything
else in the gulf countries is owned by the royal family easa contributed its opinion and
stressed that the problems did not constitute an airworthiness issue as part of this feed
airbus canceled the order for 50 a321 news they claimed that qatar had breached a clause linking
the two agreements just days later qatar placed a provisional order for at least 25 boeing 737 maxes
beyond that in friday's filing qatar praised the airbus model noting there's no equivalent
available in the market it also asks the high court in london to prohibit airbus from reselling
the a321 neos those are currently in high demand and have a backlog stretching to 2028
an interim injunction is currently in place in principle until april prohibiting the manufacturer
from placing the qatar owned equipment on the market the bad blood between qatar and airbus
stems back to an issue over blistered paint and degradation to anti-lightning protection
on qatar's existing a350s qatar says the problem has forced the grounding of 21 planes
airbus denies there's a safety issue the airline went on to sue airbus for 600 million dollars
plus 4 million dollars a day while it awaits for a formal analysis of the problem
airbus is reportedly preparing a counter claim again qatar over the a350 matter they took the
risk and knew it would be absolutely incendiary we have paid 330 million dollars for this a321
neo contract so far mr shepard told the court he said cancelling the a321 neos was a tactical
move designed to put pressure on qatar over the a350 dispute a hearing on qatar's request for an
injunction is set to begin in london on april 4th boeing an atlas air worldwide announced in order
