As the delivery of the brand new A350’s got delayed, Qatar Airways had the option to cancel the delivery altogether. Airbus will now reallocate the aircraft to other customers. Retrofitting the three Qatar Airways styled cabin interiors will be at an additional cost for Airbus.
Last year Qatar Airways sought compensation for the delays in delivery of its A320neo, as the carrier expected a “very huge” delay before receiving the first A320neo. It seems strange why Qatar Airways has now decided to cancel.
A weaker demand due to the current diplomatic crisis might be the main reason for the cancellation.
