As a result of the now-solved dispute between Qatar Airways and Airbus that resulted initially in the cancellation of Qatar’s A321 neo order, then in the delay of delivering the planes after reinstating the order following the settlement of the dispute, Qatar Airways turned to the rival, Boeing, which had some Russian S7 MAX 8s ready to be taken up due to the sanctions placed on Russia that was caused by its invasion of Ukraine, and they (Qatar Airways) picked them up and got the delivery of two so far (by the time of uploading this photo). Seen here the first ever 737 to join Qatar Airways fleet while doing pilot and crew training flights in and out of the old Doha airport (DIA), more specifically, in this photo it was taxiing to the runway after landing as flight QR9956, and before departing as flight QR9957 while passing by the two stored A380s.
