A British court decided to divide the case between Airbus and Qatar Airways, whose claims amount to two billion dollars, into two parts due to the large size of the differences.
Judge David Waxman ordered the case, scheduled for next June, to be divided into two parts due to the large scale of differences, which means that the public dispute will continue for several months, amid a glimmer of hope that high-level contacts on the sidelines of the World Cup will lead to a breakthrough, according to Reuters.
