The 787 Dreamliner built in South Carolina is among 210 jets Qatar Airways will buy as part of a $96 million deal; critics blast 'gift' to Trump

Qatar Airways will buy 210 jets from Boeing, the companies announced Wednesday during President Donald Trump’s visit there, as Trump is expected to accept a $400 million jet from the country, despite bipartisan criticism of security and conflict-of-interest concerns.

Qatar Airways today has placed the largest aircraft order in its history with manufacturing partner Boeing. As part of its strategic fleet growth plan, that includes up to 210 Boeing widebody jets – 160 firm and 50 option – which is the largest widebody order and the largest 787 Dreamliner order in the American aerospace company’s history.
