Boeing protects the largest order from Qatar at Qatar during the Trump visit

Boeing has concluded a contract with Qatar for up to 210 jets in what the White House calls the “biggest” wide body order from the aircraft manufacturer, worth $ 96 billion from the aircraft manufacturer.

The command comes as Prime Minister of the Gulf State, Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Bin Jassim Al-Thani, the controversy around the plan of US President Donald Trump to accept a Boeing 747-8 at least as Air Force One Air Force one, where to use the transmission.

The potential transmission of the jet, which Trump said, would be donated to his library after taking office, was criticized by Democrats and Republicans, with some of Trump's own followers pointing out the appearance that Qatar influence.

Trump was in Doha on Wednesday, where economic offers of more than 243 billion US dollars were announced between the USA and Qatar, including the “historical” sale of Boeing Aircraft and Ge Aerospace Engines to Qatar Airways.

In an explanation that unveiled the deal, the white house Trump called the “Dealmaker of Chief” to see his wish as an ultimate seller and diplomat on the world stage.

In a separate explanation, Boeing said that the order for 130 of the 787 Dreamliner jets of corporate-one Breitbody twin engine and 30 of its 777-9S, which are larger than the 787, are options for a further 50 Dreamliner and 777x.

“We are deeply honored that Qatar Airways has granted this record-breaking order with Boeing, which will strengthen their future fleet with our market-leading Widebody aircraft family at its center,” said Stephanie Pope, President and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.

Boeing's share closed half a percent higher in New York on Wednesday. Although the investors are enthusiastic, they are also aware that ordering obligations are not final, and it is also known at times that airlines cancel orders that have announced them publicly.

Nevertheless, the deal is a big shot in the arm for Boeing, the largest exporter of America. Last year, orders at a standstill after a door stop from an Alaska Airlines 737 Max effectively stopped, which gave a gaping hole in the aircraft side. Even with an impact in commands towards the end of 2024, Boeing's gross orders for the entire last year were only 569, which is breathtaking by 60% in 2023.

Boeing was also a massive strike in autumn. About 33,000 machine operators met the stream items in September, and Boeing only restarted the production in early December. Boeing's deliveries to only 348 aircraft in the past year, which declined by 34% in 2023.

So Trump's “liberation day” tariffs served as a gut feeling for a company in the ropes because they threaten to make millions of dollars more expensive. Boeing also obtains parts and supplies from overseas.

The Trump administration seems to be looking for commitment to trade according to Boeing Order. Last week, Minister of Commerce Howard Lutnick said in the Oval Office that a British airline agreed to acquire Boeing jets worth 10 billion US dollars as part of a larger agreement.

Reuters later reported that the airline was IAG and would order around 30 from Boeing's 787 Widebody jets.

Trump's delegation also announced other agreements in Qatar. Defense Minister Pete Hegseth signed defense agreements, including a declaration of intent to collect the defense between the state of Qatar and the United States. He also signed offers and acceptance letters for MQ-9B, which are piloted aircraft systems from a distance, and FS-Lids that are small airline systems designed for unmanned aircraft.

The day before in Saudi Arabia, the Trump delegation announced tech and defense transactions worth 600 billion US dollars. And later on Thursday, the group will pass to the United Arab Emirates, the last station of the President's first tour of the President's first tour of his second term.
