Qatar Airways is looking to order another 10 to 15 Airbus A330s before the Paris air show in June and might also confirm options on Boeing's 787, the Gulf carrier's chief said Monday. "We are talking to Airbus for extra A330s," Akbar al-Baker told reporters in Dubai, saying he hoped to reach agreement over the midsize, wide-body aircraft before the air show which opens June 17. But he said the European manufacturer will have to "sharpen their pencils," adding that those planes would fill the gap caused by the delay in Boeing's 787 Dreamliners.
The carrier already has 32 A330 planes, including three cargo versions. Baker said "there is a possibility to order more" Airbus A380 superjumbos, for which it has firm orders for 10 units. He also said that his fast growing carrier "will not cancel the Dreamliners" adding that Qatar Airways might order additional units.
