K’ching…….Qantas seeking compensation from Boeing
With Qantas having claimed compensation from Airbus over the delay of the A380, Boeing is now facing the same fate after it announced Wednesday that it was pushing back its 787 delivery the program a further three months, making the plane about nine months behind its original schedule.
Qantas said it could claim for damages in certain circumstances and would discuss the issue with Boeing in coming weeks.
Boeing rival Airbus ran two years behind with its doubledecker A380 and Qantas chief executive Geoff Dixon was a vocal critic, pressing Airbus for $104 million in compensation.
“We will be discussing the issue of liquidated damages with Boeing in the coming weeks,” Mr Dixon said yesterday.
