On May 14, 2025, during U.S. President Donald Trump’s visit to Qatar, state-owned Qatar Airways signed a monumental agreement with Boeing to purchase up to 210 widebody aircraft, including 130 Boeing 787 Dreamliners and 30 Boeing 777X jets, with options for an additional 50 planes. Valued at $96 billion, this deal marks the largest aircraft order in Boeing’s history. The agreement also includes the procurement of 400 GE Aerospace engines, representing the largest engine deal ever for GE Aerospace.
President Trump and Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani attended the signing ceremony in Doha, highlighting the deepening economic ties between the two nations. The White House emphasized that these agreements are projected to generate at least $1.2 trillion in economic exchange, encompassing investments in aviation, defense, and infrastructure.
This significant commercial development underscores the strategic partnership between the United States and Qatar, further solidifying their collaboration in various sectors.
