Qatar Airways Monday said it won't take delivery of five A380 super jumbos until the airline knows plane-maker Airbus has a permanent fix for faults in the aircraft's wings.
The Middle East airline says they still has reservations about the manufacturer's plans for a stretched version of its new A350 jetliner. A temporary fix is not good enough for the airliners looking to use the jet.
The chief executive of Airbus says "There will be a permanent fix [for our aircraft]."
