Qatar Airways receives second Airbus A350
(MENAFN- Arab News) BERLIN: Qatar Airways will take delivery of its second Airbus A350 on Wednesday and expects to receive seven more this year Chief Executive Akbar Al-Baker said.
Qatar Airways has ordered 80 of the newest European long-haul jet which is designed to compete with Boeing 787 and 777.
Speaking at a news conference at the ITB trade fair in Berlin Al-Baker also joined Dubai's Emirates in urging US airlines to publish a dossier alleging unfair subsidies.
"I'm sure there could be information in there that could be misleading" he said.
Three major US airlines claim in the 55-page dossier sent to US government officials and lawmakers that Gulf carriers received $40 billion in subsidies and want the Obama administration to renegotiate Open Skies agreements.
Gulf carriers deny receiving any market-distorting aid and argue that Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection enjoyed in the past by the big US carriers amounts to a form of trade distortion.
