Airbus Scraps Qatar Airways Jet Deal Amid Paint Spat

Airbus SE has scrapped a deal valued at billions of dollars to supply Qatar Airways with 19 of its largest aircraft, according to people familiar with the matter, the latest fallout in an escalating dispute between the European plane maker and one of its biggest customers.

The company has canceled Qatar Airways’ remaining orders for its A350 wide-body jet, the people said. The 19 aircraft are valued at roughly $7 billion at list price before the hefty discounts that plane makers typically give to customers.
