Qatar Airways

"Qatar Airways will have to do what's best for its fleet," Kinscherff told reporters Wednesday. Last month, Qatar Airways Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker accused the Dreamliner program of failure and said his company could be one of the first customers for Airbus' revamped A320.

Chicago-based Boeing has had to revise the delivery schedule of its Dreamliner after a fire on a test flight last month.
Qatar Airways has orders for 80 Airbus A350s, 60 Boeing 787s and 32 Boeing 777s.

Boeing yesterday said it understood the ramifications of delivery delays of its 787 (Dreamliner), especially after major customer "Qatar Airways" threatened to take business elsewhere.
“We understand the ramifications … we are just going to work harder to ensure we remain their (Qatar Airways) preferred provider,” Boeing Middle East president Paul Kinscherff told Gulf Times at the opening of the company’s first office in Doha.

According to Kinscherff, Qatar Airways has placed one of the world’s largest orders for their 777s.

The company has delivered two C-17 Globemaster III airlifters, the world’s most popular cargo aircraft, to the "Qatar" Emiri Air Force in August and September 2009. Future potential exists for maritime strike attack aircraft, reconnaissance rotorcraft and tactical aircraft,” Muilenburg said.

Retired US Marine Corps Lt Gen Mike Delong, a Middle East regional vice president with BDS International Business Development, will lead the Doha office.

Seeking to boost its Middle East defense business, Boeing opened its first office in Qatar Wednesday.

The office will mainly house Boeing Defense, Space & Security operations but will also provide a base for Boeing Commercial Airplanes activities.

Boeing delivered two C-17 Globemaster III airlifters to the Qatar Emiri Air Force in 2009 and is talking with Qatar's armed forces about potential future orders for maritime strike attack aircraft, reconnaissance rotorcraft and tactical aircraft.
