好久不见的卡达嘴砲秀又来囉
卡达对于空巴因为液压系统跟软件问题迟迟无法交付A32neo感到不悦
卡达原本是A320neo首发客户,但迟迟拿不到A320neo
空巴回应会在年底前解决问题
不过卡达嘴砲不是什么新鲜事
Akbar Al Baker is notorious for complaining in the press and negotiating in
the press
原文就称卡达老板是恶名昭彰的抱怨者
多年前卡达说787-8延迟太久要取消,结果还是好好的,现在30架快交完了
多年前ME3联合发声明不满意A350-1000,结果EY取消13架,EK连同359全部砍光光,QR没动作
卡达的首架A380-800.A350-900通通被找碴过
当时身为卢森堡第一大股东的卡达也找碴过卢森堡的首架747-8F
因此原文就酸:除非波音有一堆躺着的737NG,否则卡达无法在这几年拿到
“We have talked to Airbus, they know very well that we’re a very unhappy,
very unhappy customer,” Baker said, according to Reuters. Boeing is “trying
to oblige and give us the aircraft we require.”

Such a deal could help strengthen Boeing’s relationship with a key airline
in its competition with Airbus.
Middle Eastern carriers – Qatar, Emirates and Etihad – are heavy buyers.
Boeing expects Middle East airlines will buy more than 3,000 airplanes in the
next 20 years, worth more than $730 billion. Qatar Airways was the Middle
East launch customer for Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner.
If Qatar went with Boeing 737 Next Generation jets instead of the A320neos,
it would be a big win for Boeing's Renton facility, which is already ramping
up to keep up with demand. Renton is in the process of shifting to the 737
Max while simultaneously making 737NGs.
Aerospace analyst Scott Hamilton is skeptical about Baker's comments.
“Akbar Al Baker is notorious for complaining in the press and negotiating in
the press. It used to be he complained about the 787 delays. Then the A380
quality. Then A350 quality,” he said. “Unless Boeing has a bunch of NGs
just lying around, Qatar can’t get any for a few years."
By then, Hamilton said, Al Baker will have the Airbus jets his company
ordered.
Qatar Airways once considered canceling its Dreamliner orders as Boeing
struggled with early 787 production woes. Al Baker complained about the
A320neo engines last month, claiming they were inadequately tested for high
temperatures in the Gulf region.
Airbus told the airline it will make fixes to the aircraft by the end of the
year.
