subject: Qatar buys A380 & A350

From: Ad

"Qatar Airways announced an order for three Airbus A380 superjumbo
airliners and confirmed an order for 80 mid-sized A350 aircraft on the
first day of the Paris Air Show on Monday.

The planes would be worth slightly more than 18 billion dollars (13.4
billion euros) at catalogue prices.

The order for 80 A350s, first announced in March this year, is worth 17.2
billion dollars at catalogue prices while three A380s would be priced at
957 million dollars, according to Airbus sales figures."

Interesting that the main US base in the Gulf chose airbus inc the A350.

Oh &

"Also on Monday, a source said that Dubai-based airline Emirates, the
biggest single client for the superjumbo, would announce an order for up to
10 additional A380s."
