SAN FRANCISCO/DOHA - Qatar Airways and Boeing on Wednesday announced the carrier will purchase up to 210 widebody jets, which sets new records as the largest widebody order for Boeing.

The order includes 130 787 Dreamliners, 30 777-9s, and options for an additional 50 787 and 777X airplanes.

"We are happy to announce our agreement with Boeing and our partnership in the largest aircraft order in our history," said Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Officer Badr Mohammed Al-Meer.

"We are deeply honored that Qatar Airways has placed this record-breaking order with Boeing, one that solidifies their future fleet with our market-leading widebody airplane family at its center," said Stephanie Pope, president and CEO of Boeing Commercial Airplanes.

The announcement came as US President Donald Trump signed a series of bilateral agreements in Doha alongside Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.

"It's the largest order of jets in the history of Boeing. That's pretty good," Trump remarked during the signing ceremony in the Qatari capital.

The aircraft purchase was one of several agreements finalized between the United States and Qatar, including expanded cooperation in defense.

Separately, Trump expressed optimism about diplomatic progress in the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine.

"I think we are having some pretty good news coming out of there today, and maybe tomorrow, and maybe Friday, frankly. But we'll see about that," he said during his meeting with the Qatari emir.
