Qatar Airways' CEO is mad. An alliance of airlines should be helping each other out. But CEO Akbar al-Bakar says American and Qantas are actively working against him.

As for me, Qatar Airways is the finest in the sky because the GCEO (Mr, Akbar Al Baker) has a distinctive character, he values Integrity, high-minded person, very clever, classy and very professional.... and..the most important is... he is an inspiring leader with a heart.The World is big, Qatar Airways wings can be expanded in other parts of the World. I support you Mr. Al Baker!

I've always been a fan of Akbar al-Bakar. He is concise, detailed, and has the courage to call bullshitters out. I love how he refused delivery from Airbus for shotty quality, scrutinize minor details during his airport construction, and now taking the fight to every country wronging him. Love this guy. He can take the heat.

Call him a fan or whatever you want to. This big nations think that they can bully anyone. Qatar is super wealthy and will survive with a blockade and half the airlines in the alliance trying to bully them. They are just jealous of how fast and powerful this airline has gotten. Its not about the man. Its about the truth

If you run a business does not matter what industry, your job is to keep your company afloat, stable and competitive. If your a real business owner (big or small) you know there are businesses who want to knock you out, steal your customers or buy you out. It either protect your livelihood or be unemployed.
@edwinpoopy6 жыл бұрын
100% Agree that the US "Big Boys" are jealous and afraid of Al-Bakar's competition. If you are truly better, then you would welcome the challenge, not try to block the other player. I don't know anyone who would go out of their way to fly a US carrier, but many would rather route thru Qatar because it is better in product and service. Qatars new Qsuite Business class products are miles ahead of any the US carriers international business class. Qsuites probably cannibalize Qatar's own First Class sales as the difference between Qsuite and First Class is now even less evident. This just shows that Qatar Airways is not afraid to put the customer first. I cannot imagine the US carriers doing this and their motives are on gouging their customers for as much as possible rather than winning customers over from competitors. United has Polaris products on some routes but it is not even close to Qsuite.

Qatar Airways both air Italy which was name Meridiana in the old days. then they decide to move the original base from Olbia Costa Smeralda airport to Milan Linate airport. causing deep injured to the core of social lives of the cities, by moving and deswelling skills. causing losing job and expertise which is being created during over 40 years of extraordinary experience and craft, which nobody can claim to have at the moment a global level. if they plan to do the same whit the USA carrier. I'm glad if they will no succeed on this occasion ...
