A year after Boeing Co. slogged through a deep executive shakeup and prolonged existential crisis, the US planemaker just landed its biggest-ever aircraft order, propelled by a powerful endorsement from President Donald Trump.

The White House announced that President Donald Trump secured economic exchanges with Qatar worth $1.2 trillion, a figure which includes a historic order for Boeing airliners.

Boeing secured major orders in the Middle East during a visit to the region by President Trump, and China lifted a ban on its airlines taking deliveries of Boeing planes.

Qatar Airways committed to acquiring as many as 210 widebody jets in a deal projected to be worth $96 billion, supporting over 150,000 jobs.

Qatar Airways places record-breaking order for 210 Boeing jets, boosting U.S. jobs and expanding its global fleet of fuel-efficient widebody aircraft.

A $96 billion deal with Qatar Airways comes as Boeing struggles to deliver its Air Force One replacement and Trump seems poised to accept a Boeing jet from the Qatari royal family.

President Donald Trump defended Qatar gifting the U.S. a jet to use as Air Force One as the new fleet is still under construction.
