Qatar Airways has placed a massive order for up to 210 Boeing jets, in a deal worth 96 billion dollars.
The purchase order was announced as part of a series of business agreements between the US and Qatar during President Trump’s visit to the Gulf state.
The White House claims that the deal will generate 1 million jobs in the US during the production and delivery of the aircraft.
This comes at a time when the president is facing criticism for accepting a luxury Boeing 747 jumbo jet as a gift from the Qatari royal family.
The announcement of the deal has sparked both excitement over the economic benefits and concern over potential conflicts of interest.
Qatar’s investment in Boeing jets is seen as a strategic move to strengthen its position in the global aviation industry.
The deal underscores the close economic ties between Qatar and the US, despite recent political tensions in the region.
Qatar Airways’ ambitious fleet expansion plan is expected to further boost its competitiveness in the international market.
The massive Boeing deal is likely to have far-reaching implications for both the aviation industry and US-Qatar relations.
