Largest widebody engine deal for GE Aerospace, CEO Culp says
DOHA/SEATTLE, May 14 (Reuters) – State carrier Qatar Airways signed a deal on Wednesday to purchase up to 210 widebody jets from Boeing during President Donald Trump’s visit to the Gulf Arab country, a coup for the U.S. planemaker.
The deal for Boeing 777X and 787 planes with GE Aerospace engines was worth $96 billion, according to the White House. It is a win for Trump on a high-profile visit to the region, even though it will be years before the jets are delivered.
