Title: Re: 747-8F First Delivery Cancelled/postponed Post by pj747 on Sep 21st, 2011 at 12:55pm
According the my theory and a new USAToday article, Qatar Airways does have the blame in this delay. Cargolux does intend to buy all the planes, and never was going to write that letter. However, on September 9, when Qatar Airways bought a 35% stake in Cargolux, they joined teh board. Therefore, Qatar is upset with the delays in their 787 orders, so for compensation, they forced Cargolux to refuse delivery, until a settlment is made in Qatar's 787 favor. That is $h!ttty business Qatar is pulling!
Funny, this happens to be post #747. yippee!! Boeing 747, the greatest airplane ever made! It always amazes me that only 1 year, 10 months after the 737-100's first flight, an aircraft that would be the largest production airplane in world history for 35 years would fly. |
