DOHA (Reuters) – Airbus is in contact with Qatar Airways to try to resolve a contractual and safety dispute over the A350 passenger jet, the planemaker’s chief executive said on Sunday.

“We are in a difficult place, but we in Airbus are really willing to find a way out,” Faury said on the sidelines of an airline industry meeting in Doha, adding lines of communication between the companies had never been broken during a legal row.

Qatar Airways was not immediately available for comment.
