Qatar tells UK judge it wants Airbus A321 jets or damages | Reuters
Qatar Airways has asked a UK court to reinstate an order for 50 Airbus (AIR.PA) A321neo passenger jets that the European planemaker revoked as part of a bitter dispute over the partial grounding of larger A350s, a court filing showed on Friday.
Failing that, the Gulf carrier is asking a UK judge to award the airline unquantified damages over the planemaker's decision to withdraw what it described as a "unique" plane as it prepares to receive the 220-seat A321neo from February next year.
Airbus declined comment on the filing.
The claim is the latest salvo in a months-old contractual and safety dispute that has brought relations between two of the industry's largest players to an all-time low.
