Paris, May 29, 2011
Qatar Airways plans to increase its order for Airbus A380 passenger jets at the Paris Air Show, Flight International reported.
The Gulf airline has five of the world's largest passenger jets on order, worth $375 million each at current list prices. It could also place an order for A330 freighters.
Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker said he plans to sign "a small order" for additional A380s, adding "it won't be a hundred aircraft," the magazine reported on its website.
