In May 2025, Qatar Airways entered into a $96 billion agreement with Boeing to purchase 210 widebody jets, including options for 50 more. The order consists of 130 Boeing 787 Dreamliners and 30 Boeing 777-9s. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner offers engine choices between the General Electric GEnx or Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 high-bypass turbofans, while the upcoming Boeing 777X will exclusively use General Electric GE9X engines.
The contract is expected to support jobs across various states in the United States, as well as in Canada and Europe due to the international nature of aircraft production. President Trump and the Sheikh of Qatar ceremonially witnessed the signing during Trump's visit to Qatar in May 2025.
Boeing claims that this order will sustain nearly 400,000 jobs in the United States. However, details on how this figure is calculated remain unclear. The deal includes additional orders for both models and undisclosed orders previously listed as unidentified by Boeing.
