Ma kahi pilikia nui i Qatar Airways, ua hōʻole ka luna kānāwai o ka ʻAha Kiʻekiʻe o Lākana i ka noi a ka mokulele e koi aku i ka mea hana mokulele ʻEulopa e hoʻomau i ka hana ʻana i nā mokulele A321neo no ka mea lawe ʻo Gulf.
ʻO ka hoʻoholo a ka luna kānāwai Pelekania, ʻo ia hoʻi, ʻo ka mea hana mokulele nui loa o ka honua ke kūʻai aku i nā mokulele kaulana i nā mokulele mokulele ʻē aʻe, ʻoiai e alualu ana i kahi hoʻopaʻapaʻa kaʻawale me Qatar Airways no ka palekana o nā mokulele A350 nui aʻe.
Ma hope o ka hōʻole ʻana o Qatar Airways e lawe i nā A350 no ka hōʻino ʻana i ka papa pale pale i pena ʻia, ua kāpae ʻo Airbus i ka ʻaelike A321neo o ka mea lawe i Ianuali 2022.
Wahi a Airbus, ua hoʻopili ʻia nā ʻaelike ʻelua e kahi ʻōlelo "cross-default" e hiki ai iā ia ke huki i ka plug ma kahi ʻaelike ke hōʻole ka mokulele e hoʻohanohano i kekahi.
Airbus ua hoʻopiʻi Qatar Hawaiian Airlines, ka mea kūʻai nui loa o kāna mokulele A350, o ka hoʻolele ʻana i nā hopohopo palekana kūpono ʻole e pale aku i ka lawe ʻana i nā mokulele i ka manawa o ka noi nāwaliwali, a e hoʻāla i kahi koi kālā $ 1 biliona.
Wahi a Qatar Airways, ua pono ke hooki i ka lawe ana i ka A350 ma luna o ka mea i wehewehe ʻia e ka luna hoʻoponopono o Doha ma luna o nā āwaha a i ʻole ka ʻino i loko o kahi sublayer o ka pale uila i waiho ʻia e ka pena lua ma luna o 20 mau A350 i hoʻokumu ʻia. Wahi a ka mokulele ʻaʻole pili ka paukū cross-default i kekahi hihia.
Ua hōʻole ʻia e ka luna kānāwai ka manaʻo hoʻopaʻapaʻa a ka mea lawe kaʻa ʻo Gulf ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke loaʻa nā mokulele like e hoʻopau i ka hemahema o ka lako A321neo.
Ua kauoha ʻia ka mokulele e uku i ka hapa nui o nā kumukūʻai o Airbus ma ka ʻāpana A321neo o ka hihia.
ʻAʻole hiki i ka ʻaha hoʻoholo ke hoʻihoʻi hou ʻo Qatar Airways i ka ʻaelike ma kahi hoʻokolokolo piha akā ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻoponopono ʻia ke kumukūʻai o ka hoʻopiha ʻana i kekahi āpau ma waena o kēia manawa a laila hiki ke hoʻoponopono ʻia e nā pōʻino kālā ma mua o ka koi ʻana iā Airbus e kūkulu i kāna mau mokulele.
ʻO ka hoʻoholo a Airbus e hoʻopau i ka ʻaelike A321neo ua hoʻoweliweli i kekahi mau mokulele, me ke poʻo o ka International Air Transport Association e wehewehe ana he "hopohopo" hoʻomohala ma kahi kihi o ka mākeke kahi e hauʻoli ai ʻo Airbus i ka nui o nā kauoha hou.
Ke hopohopo nei nā luna o ka mokulele i ka hihia A321neo e hoʻonoho i kahi kumu e ʻae ai i nā hoʻopaʻapaʻa e ricochet mai kekahi aelike i kekahi, e hoʻopaʻa i ka paʻa o nā mokulele mokulele Airbus a me Boeing.
He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- Decision to cancel the A321neo deal alarmed some airlines, with the head of the International Air Transport Association describing it as a “worrying” development in a corner of the market where Airbus enjoys the bulk of new orders.
- The British judge’s decision means the world's biggest aircraft manufacturer is free to market the popular planes to other air carriers, while pursuing a separate dispute with Qatar Airways over the safety of larger A350 jets.
- ʻAʻole hiki i ka ʻaha hoʻoholo ke hoʻihoʻi hou ʻo Qatar Airways i ka ʻaelike ma kahi hoʻokolokolo piha akā ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻoponopono ʻia ke kumukūʻai o ka hoʻopiha ʻana i kekahi āpau ma waena o kēia manawa a laila hiki ke hoʻoponopono ʻia e nā pōʻino kālā ma mua o ka koi ʻana iā Airbus e kūkulu i kāna mau mokulele.
