Airbus and Qatar Airways settle dispute over fuselage defect

Today, February 1, the European aerospace corporation Airbus informedthat she had settled the dispute with Qatar Airways. Conflict between companies has begun in 2021, when Qatar Airways retired several Airbus A350s, claiming fuselage surface defects and wear too fast. After that Airbus tore apart contract for the supply of other Qatar Airways aircraft.

Now the parties have settled the dispute and withdraw their claims against each other. The agreement does not mean that any of the parties acknowledged their responsibility. According to Airbus, the planes are being refurbished and “both parties hope that these planes will return to flying safely.” Other details of the agreement were not disclosed.
