Qater airways is seeking to improve its relationship with aircraft manufacturer airbus as both sides move forward after previous commercial tensions.

The airline and Airbus were previously involved in disputes related to aircraft deliveries and surface condition concerns, which led to legal proceedings and order adjustments. Those issues were later resolved, allowing cooperation to resume.

Strengthening ties with Airbus is seen as strategically important for Qatar Airways, given its significant fleet of Airbus aircraft and long-term fleet renewal plans. A stable partnership with a major manufacturer ensures delivery certainty, fleet support, and future growth opportunities.

Airlines and manufacturers often work closely on aircraft specifications, cabin configurations, and long-term order planning. Rebuilding trust and cooperation can help facilitate smoother future transactions and operational planning.

The renewed focus on collaboration reflects broader industry efforts to maintain strong supplier relationships amid global fleet expansion and supply chain challenges.
