NEW YORK, July 29 (Reuters) - Qatar Airways expects to
receive its first four Boeing Co (BA.N) 787 Dreamliners by the
end of 2011 and its entire order of 30 planes by 2015, Chief
Executive Akbar Al Baker said on Wednesday.

Speaking at a media lunch in New York, Al Baker said he
received the outlook from Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Scott
Carson in June, shortly after the world's largest air show in
Paris.

A Boeing spokesman said the company does not comment on
talks with customers.

Al Baker said he was told Qatar would get all 30 of its
firm orders delivered by 2015 and that if other customers
cancel their Dreamliner orders then Qatar's options for 30 more
aircraft could be filled quicker.

He said he believes the first test flight of the
carbon-composite aircraft will occur by the end of 2009.

"I quite frankly have faith now in Boeing in the sense of
delivery because regardless of (what) the certification outcome
will be, by the time they have to deliver my airplanes, I'm
sure they will catch up with the backlog," Al Baker said.

"And if they cannot sort it out at this time then Boeing
has forgotten how to make airplanes."

Al Baker made waves in June at the Paris Air Show when he
said Qatar was strongly considering canceling its orders for
the long-delayed Dreamliner.

Later that month, Boeing delayed for the fifth time its
first 787 test flight due to a structural problem. The delays
have been a blow the company's credibility.

Boeing has not given a new target date for the first test
flight and has said it would also reschedule the first
delivery.

The aircraft, already two years behind its original
schedule, was set to fly in the second quarter of 2009. Boeing
data shows more than 850 orders for the 787.

Qatar Airways, which has a fleet of almost 70 planes, has
been expanding rapidly. The carrier hopes to add 42 planes in
four years and has orders for more than 220 planes, worth $40
billion.

during the Paris Air Show, saying deliveries would begin at the
end of 2009 and be completed by 2012. [ID:nLF470716]

Al Baker said during the media lunch that the airline
expected to receive its first three Airbus A350s during the
last quarter of 2013. The airline has 80 of these planes on
order, including options.

"This is very clearly mentioned in our contract that we
will be the first airline to fly the Airbus A350," he said.

Airbus could not be reached for comment.

Qatar Airways has asked for delivery of the Airbus A380 by
2012, he added. The Gulf carrier has orders for five of those
planes.

Chicago-based Boeing and rival Airbus (EAD.PA) have
struggled as carriers and cargo operators grapple with the
global recession.

Shares of Boeing closed up 12 cents at $43.37 on the New
York Stock Exchange.
