Which Airlines Does Qatar Airways Own?

[@MegaPokergod]

Qatar airways is the biggest shareholder of IAG . British Airways, Iberia, Vueling Airlines, LEVEL, Aer Lingus, IAG Loyalty, and IAG Cargo

[@scpatl4now]

With their investments...you would think they were a member of SkyTeam

[@managed9348]

They have their hand in everything lol

[@pianemova]

isnt it what lufthansa does? outbuy your competitors or friends of your competitors

[@MrSchwabentier]

The Lufthansa case is a bit different because there is a single European market. So they can have a much stronger integration than Qatar ever could

[@da480]

They’ve allowed their second most important investment - LATAM - to slip into a hands of a competing alliance, so none other (than IAG) really matter after that. And an acquisition of Virgin Aus can eventually force Qantas to leave OW.

[@jgnclvgmng5408]

LATAM isn't currently on any alliance. There are much larger shareholders in LATAM than Qatar, so they would have to accept their decisions, notably Delta which supposedly has 20%.

[@da480]

@ exactly what I meant. Delta - as a larger shareholder- influences LATAM's business more than Qatar. While OW and Qatar in particular could have owned a huge market share of South America have they were willing to invest at that time

Is it me or did i see arik air at 1:07

[@rizwansheikh9521]

Brilliant!

[@pmbuthia4210]

Though Qatar airways hasn't finalized the 49% acquisition of RwandAir. It already has a 60% stake investment in Rwanda airport worth $1.3 billion. The Bugesera International Airport project in Kigali, expected to be completed by 2028.

[@markjakker]

Companies doing this is normal and routine in other industries... from what I've seen

[@MirzaAhmed89]

You forgot to mention their huge losses on Air Italy.

[@jgnclvgmng5408]

Etihad lost more on Alitalia. Italian carriers are difficult to be profitable. Long haul best routes are to the US, and others are not very interesting. And they face huge competition from the 3 main US carriers. Can't even see the point of Lufthansa investing on ITA Airways either...

[@alexlong3714]

Qatar have so much money, they have to invest somewhere. No? Since Qatar Airways is going global, investing in other countries is obviously a positive move, in expanding its network and reach.

[@NNotSwiss]

What about Virgin Australia? Don't they have a stake in that as well?

[@sy_chu]

See 4:08

[@NNotSwiss]

@@sy_chu thx

[@grahambaker6664]

Not yet but it will have if and when approved by the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board.

[@KDieter]

They should buy Malaysia airlines

[@Jrk2.0-l9x]

You do not mention. Indigo airline .this India airline company..

[@jwil4286]

Doesn’t IAG also own Finnair?

[@MrSchwabentier]

No. Finnair is 55% owned by the Government and the rest is spread across small shareholders

[@naziamk10a]

It is nice for them for qatar airways.

[@slamtilt01]

Maybe Qatar 🇶🇦 should push IAG to buy Spirit

[@shivargangasagar7785]

They must buy SAA

[@abdullahmohd2647]

Also Qatar Airways owned a49% of OMANAIR WY

[@DerkDerglass]

Virgin aus is interesting re one world partner Qantas

[@magical_catgirl]

Qatar is "annoyed" with Qantas because Qantas made a joint venture deal with Emirates at the same time as Qatar was in the process of joining oneworld. The still to be approved deal with Virgin Australia is more about Qatar getting access to the Australian side of the air service agreement flight limitations between Doha and Australia. They were blocked from their request to increase the limits so are tapping Virgin to double their flights. Virgin doesn't have any wide body aircraft after selling them in 2020 during bankruptcy, so the planned "Virgin Australia" flights to Doha will be using Qatar aircraft and crew. Qatar just got in at a good time with the current owners of Virgin Australia looking to relist the airline and recover their investment.

[@William2512]

Virgin Australia 🇦🇺 also the have shares in

[@magical_catgirl]

Qatar doesn't have any shares in Virgin Australia yet. The arrangement has to be approved by the Foreign Investment Review Board

[@William2512]

@magical_catgirl media has jumped the gun

[@douglasunmack961]

What about Virgin Australia?

[@artrandy]

Qatar Airways are owned by the Qatari Government, which in turn is run by the Emir of Qatar, whatever the airline might like to claim to The US Department of State, to assuage accusations of unfair competition. So its the Emir who has invested in other airlines, using substantial oil revenues with which to do that. Not Qatar Airways. There is no Rule of Law in Qatar, and no unions either, and the airline is notorious for employing Third World labour on minimum wages, and turning their workforce into serfs, by withholding passports, making physical threats, instant sackings etc. The evidence is overwhelming. Maybe the big three US legacy airlines should repeat their 2016 accusations about "unfair subsidies", in the hope that the 47th President will hear them this time.........

[@MandoMonge]

What you say is partially true, but many facts are a bit overblown. How can a crew member operate a flight into a country with their passport being withheld?

[@artrandy]

@@MandoMonge I said "workforce". Do you believe that an airline only employs crew members...😀...? As to whether you approve, disapprove, believe or disbelieve what I've just said, when Google has page after page of proven misdemeanours against this little Fifedom from multitudes of sources, which you are at perfect liberty to check for yourself, doesn't affect me even slightly, if you don't live under the Rule of Law in a fully fledged Democracy. If you don't, then you're likely to be just another apologist for the totalitarian regimes that exist in the ME.........

[@vinaycamay7267]

Qatar Airways needs to buy srilankan airlines and make it an whole owned subsidiary, no more waiting, also buy India's Akasa Air and crush Indigo & competition.

[@eamonahern7495]

I was today years old when I found out Qatar has a steak in Aer Lingus. P.S. That probably explains why Qatar comes up instead of Emirates if you search intercontinental flights from Dublin that go through the middle east.

[@MirzaAhmed89]

Steak?

[@eamonahern7495]

@MirzaAhmed89 sorry. I hadn't eaten my dinner when I wrote that comment.

[@jantjarks7946]

I can relate to that. The steak I mean. 😉
