Qatar Airways has ordered 10 Boeing 777-8X passenger aircraft and and four 777 Freighters on the opening day of the 2015 Paris Airshow.
The order is valued at $4.8 billion at current list prices.
"Acquiring technologically-advanced airplanes such as the 777X is integral to our expansion strategy," said Group CEO His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker.
"With the addition of these 777-8X to the 50 777-9X already on order, we are confident of continuing the tremendous legacy of the 777."
The 777X will include new engines, an all-new composite wing and will leverage technologies from the 787 Dreamliner, Boeing’s longest range mid-size aircraft.
With this order, the 777X has accumulated 320 orders and commitments from six customers worldwide, said Boeing.
