According to US President Donald Trump, who announced the 96 -billion dollars as part of his tour through the Middle East, Qatar Airways bought up to 210 jets from American Manufacturing Giant Boeing.

The White House said that the deal would support 154,000 jobs in the United States every year and marked the largest order of 787 Dreamliners, a large body jet that was used for longer flights.

Qatar Airways and Boeing later confirmed the agreement.

It is the second deal in which Boeing is announced as part of Trump's trip and marked a victory for the company because it tries to rebuild its business according to a number of manufacturing and security problems.

The outbreak of a panel on one of its planes in January 2024 forced a dramatic slowdown to the production associations and triggered a loss of more than USD 10 billion last year.

The shares of the company, which some of its workers also violate a seven -week strike, have increased by around 20% since January, which has an indication of increased optimism about the prospects of the company.

In April, Chef Kelly Ortberg informed investors that the company's recreation plan was in “full swing” after the company delivered a larger than expected 130 aircraft in the first three months of the year.

The managers said the company still had a gap of 5,600 aircraft, which produced more than seven years.

The Qatar Airways Deal, which includes 130 Dreamliners, 30 777-9S and the option for 50 other aircraft. was part of more than 240 billion USD in “business information” between the USA and Qatar, which the White House announced on the trip.

According to Boeing's website, a long-term relationship between Boeing and the state airline, which had already ordered 150 Boeing aircraft in its fleet and more than 130 jets.

“It is the greatest order of Jets in the history of Boeing, that's good,” said Trump when signing.

As part of Trump's trip, Boeing had previously announced that Saudia Arabia's Arabia Avilase is committed to renting aircraft to airlines to buy 20,737 Max aircraft with options for 10 more.

The owner of British Airways IAG also said at the beginning of this month that he had placed an order of 32 787-10 aircraft worth 13 billion USD, a deal that Trump was driving forward as part of his announcement of the US CUCH trading announcement. These are expected to be delivered in 2028.

The commercial weapon arrest between the USA and China has also contributed to facilitating a challenge for the company, whose customers had stopped aircraft in China, escalated as tariffs.

Richard Aboulafia, Managing Director of the USA -based consulting company Aerodynamic Advisory, said that the time of the Order Qatar Airways was “politically experienced” and a “nice victory” for Boeing.

However, he added: “There is no accelerated need for aircraft or has won a fight.”

Boeing's problems in recent years have attributed the difficulties that had the meeting deadlines for the meeting – no demand.

“You can add more jets to the deficit – thanks Qatar Airways – but the problem for some time, and it will continue to be a problem is on the production page,” he said. “You have to build more planes.”

John Grant from the aviation analysis company OAG said that the deal of Qatar Airways “was an important explanation for Boeing in relation to the restoration of the market” on the market, but was not a surprising development in view of the relationship between the two companies.
