Bombardier Gets $122M Order From Qatar Airways

Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker says his company has ordered three business jets from Canadian manufacturer Bombardier in a deal worth $122 million at list prices.

FARNBOROUGH, England (AP) -- Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker says his company has ordered three business jets from Canadian manufacturer Bombardier.

In a press conference Monday, he announced an order for two Global 5000 aircraft and -- a last minute addition -- a Challenger 605.

The deal is worth $122 million at list prices, although airlines often negotiate substantial discounts.

Al Baker says Qatar Airways is still talking to Bombardier about buying its C-Series commercial jet, but was not able to conclude a deal at the airshow.
