Boeing has won a large commercial aircraft deal from Qatar Airways worth a potential $ 18.6 billion, for its twin aisle and single aisle aircraft.
Qatar Airways announced an order for 30 787-9 Dreamliners and 10 777-300ER widebodies, valued at $11.7 billion at list prices.

The airline also signed a Letter of Intent for up to 60 737 MAX 8s, valued at $6.9 billion at list prices.

Today’s announcement builds on Qatar Airways’ current fleet of 84 Boeing aircraft, a combination of 787s and 777s, all delivered over the last nine years.

With this new order, Qatar Airways increases its firm order backlog of Boeing widebody airplanes from 65 to 105, including 60 777Xs.

The airline was the first to operate the 787 in the Middle East and is a launch customer for the 777X. With the commitment for the 737 MAX 8, it would be the first Boeing single-aisle airplane model to join Qatar Airways’ fleet in more than 15 years.
