Since our partnership began in 2006, Qatar Airways has made landmark orders of Boeing 777s, 747-8 Freighters, 787 Dreamliners and 737 MAX airplanes.

We are proud to be a part of Qatar Airways’ success story and to support Qatar’s ambitious growth plans in aviation, trade and tourism, with more than 150 Boeing airplanes currently in the airline’s fleet and more than 130 Boeing airplanes on order.

As the launch customer of the new Boeing 777-8 Freighter, Qatar Airways has ordered 74 777X passenger and freighter airplanes.

In April 2023, Qatar Airways took delivery of its first 737-8, the first Boeing single-aisle airplane in the airline’s fleet. The carrier also has 25 Boeing 737 MAXs in its order books.

Boeing’s newest products will support Qatar Airways as it expands its passenger and cargo capacity.

Additionally, Boeing has been working closely with Qatar Airways Cargo in developing “connected cargo” solutions to enable better operational efficiency.

In 2008, Qatar became the first Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nation to operate the C-17 Globemaster III airlifters. Since then, Boeing has been working closely with the Qatar Emiri Air Force (QEAF).

Boeing provides support to the QEAF by facilitating iconic platforms, including the F-15QA (Qatar Advanced) fighters, the C-17 Globemaster transport airplanes and the AH-64 Apache helicopters.

Boeing defense programs have played a crucial role in safeguarding Qatar’s air, land and sea borders, as well as conducting humanitarian missions worldwide. Additionally, they have been instrumental in monitoring airspace during significant events such as the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Qatar Computing Research Institute

The partnership of Boeing and Qatar Computing Research Institute (QCRI) has resulted in groundbreaking research in machine learning and work on computer vision for autonomy. The collaboration enhances the understanding of correlations in data produced by aerospace systems and improves the early detection of small objects for safer landings.

Boeing and QCRI also host an annual international symposium on machine learning and data analytics in Doha.

Qatar University

Boeing supports a series of initiatives of the Qatar University College of Engineering focused on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and a robotics competition.
