Qatar Airways has scrapped orders for four Airbus SE A350-900 jets after deliveries were delayed by supplier issues.
The move was reflected in Airbus’s June order tally published Thursday and confirmed by a spokesman for the Toulouse, France-based company. Qatar Air is the biggest buyer of the A350, with 80 orders before the cancellations, as well as the launch customer having taken its first plane in December 2014.
