DUBAI, United Arab Emirates -- Qatar Airways says it has grounded 13 Airbus A350s over degradation of the plane's fuselage. Qatar Airways made the announcement on Thursday, further escalating a monthslong dispute with the European airplane maker. It says the aircraft will be removed “from service until such time as the root cause can be established and a satisfactory solution made available to permanently correct the underlying condition.” Airbus did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
