Qatar Airways is in talks with Boeing and Airbus to order 100 to 150 widebody jets to expand and renew its fleet, according to Bloomberg News.
It is expected that the order will be for both the Airbus A350 and Boeing 777X models.
Qatar Airways has submitted a request for a proposal to Boeing and Airbus for a “big” new aircraft order, its CEO Badr Mohammed Al Meer said during a CNBC interview on Friday.
Qatar Airways' fleet of A350 jets is now back in service after a paint issue was resolved.
Qatar Airways is a major user of the A350 and has 50 Boeing 777X aircraft on order.
It has 58 A350s in service with 18 more on order. For Boeing, it is 50 777-9s on order plus 50 purchase rights and has ordered 34 777Fs with 16 options.
