It's way to early to speculate about this, as we don't really have information from either side.
The fact that only Qatar Airways seem to have such problems (for now) is also interesting.
The reason could be anything from manufacturing errors with a specific batch of them which happened to have been bought by Qatar Airways to wrong maintenance by Qatar Airways or the planes having been to often exposed to to extreme weather conditions as they are not that unusual in Qatar. And even this "wide range" speculation is not really usable given the facts we (don't) have.
- benhurmarcel 5y agoA likely reason for why only Qatar airways reports this is that they are notorious about regularly publicly complaining about “quality issues” in the press during commercial negotiations. It’s a trick to pressure the aircraft manufacturer. That’s not to say that quality issues don’t happen, they certainly do. But QTR is known to be very quick to refuse to work with their supplier and publish the complaint in the press, instead of working it out like is the norm, especially if it’s near a time of contract negotiation.
