Monday's announcement covers up to 102 airplanes total with a list price value of approximately $34 billion inclusive of engines.
The deal was solidified during a formal signing ceremony at the White House on Monday by Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stan Deal and Qatar Airways Group CEO Akbar Al Baker. Other officials in attendance included Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo, White House National Economic Council Director Brian Deese, Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun and Qatar's ambassador to the U.S., Sheikh Mishaal bin Hamad Al Thani.
"The Biden administration has prioritized the revitalization of our manufacturing economy. This investment from our friends in Qatar represents another step toward fulfilling that priority," Raimondo said in a statement. "It means good jobs right here in America, billions of dollars more in exports, and a much-needed boost to America’s manufacturing sector."
