Qatar Airways releases video showing damage on its fleet of Airbus airplanes amid multi-million dollar dispute with the European company
The termination of the contract comes as the planemaker and its major Gulf customer, Qatar Airways, are embroiled in a legal dispute in London over the grounding of the larger Airbus A350 aircraft by the Gulf-based airline.
Qatar Airways hit back on Friday with the first official images of jets grounded by its regulator after Airbus accused the state airline of engineering the dispute to obtain compensation. Qatar Airways is pressing a London court for compensation of more than $600 million, while Airbus raised the stakes on Thursday by revoking a separate order for 50 A321neos, portraying the rift as a contractual rather than safety spat.
The clip showed peeling or missing paint and damage to underlying anti-lightning protection, as well as what the airline described as patches of the underlying structural carbon-fibre exposed to moisture and ultraviolet light.
