AIRBUS” plans for the A350 long haul aircraft will be much clearer in
time for the start of the Farnborough Air Show in July. Transport
ministers of the four countries involved with Airbus will decide before
17 July on any loans for the A350. Ministers are currently discussing
the project and will meet imminently to consider a major re-vamp of
the project. This follows calls for changes from potential customers
who say that the aircraft is not competitive with Boeing”s all new 787.
Qatar Airways is apparently poised to re-think a ”5.3bn deal to buy
60 A350s from Airbus.
