Qatar has grounded 21 of the planes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The head of British Airways owner IAG said on Friday it is not experiencing the same degree of issues as Qatar Airways and said the

reported A350 paint problems, while Qatar Airways has complained of deeper underlying issues with a layer of lightning protection attached to the paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere have been findings on some in-service A350 surface paint which Airbus has been investigating,\u201d an Airbus spokesman said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related-topics\">Related
