Qatar Airways PJSC is nearing a decision on a major widebody order split between Boeing Co. and Airbus SE, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Middle East carrier is looking at ordering about 200 jets, with a decision possible as soon as the Farnborough Air Show in the UK late next month, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private matters.
