Al-Marsad Newspaper – Agencies: Qatar Airways has published scenes that may be considered very embarrassing for the European aircraft manufacturing giant, Airbus, against the background of the dispute between the two parties after the Qatari company claimed compensation due to a defect in the A321 planes.
The outer walls of the plane crumbled
Qatar Airways shared pictures showing some manufacturing defects, which appeared in the footage in the form of the fragmentation of the outer layers of the aircraft walls caused by a major internal defect.
According to Archyde.com, these images come as a response from Qatar Airways to Airbus’ decision to expand the dispute with the Qatari company and cancel the contract to purchase A321 planes after the Qatari company’s demands.
Qatar Airways demands $600 million
Qatar Airways has filed a complaint to compensate it in the amount of 600 million dollars due to the appearance of cracks in the A350 aircraft, and for its part, Airbus canceled a contract with Qatar Airways worth 4.6 billion dollars to purchase 50 A321 NEO aircraft.
The Qatari company presented video clips showing damage to the roof of two Airbus A350 aircraft, which the Qatari regulatory authority prevented from taking off, as it appears in the pictures, the fragmentation of the outer layers of the plane’s outer wall, possibly due to a defect Indoor and very high temperature.
First official photos
