Qatar Airways Chief Executive Akbar al-Baker on Tuesday warned Airbus and Boeing against resisting the airline’s requests to defer aircraft deliveries, in a battle over who should bear the strain of the coronavirus crisis. The state airline, whose CEO has more usually been known for criticising delays at planemakers, is now in talks like many rivals to push back deliveries due to the impact of the crisis. “We are negotiating with both Boeing and Airbus to fulfil our requirement to defer and we hope that both the manufacturers will oblige,” he told Reuters by phone.
