Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker predicted Qatar Airways and Emirates will emerge as the two “dominant” operators in the region, adding Etihad Airways, while fast-expanding, will not fall into that category Gulf Air is “shrinking” but should ultimately survive, even after political interference that means the carrier is “not what they should have been,” he said.
Qatar Airways plans to serve a network of 170 destinations with 170 aircraft by the end of 2015. The carrier operates to 113 destinations and plans to launch services to Kilimanjaro, Mombasa, Yangon, Zanzibar, Belgrade, Helsinki and Gassim this year. It operates 108 aircraft in its mainline passenger and cargo fleet and another six aircraft under its Qatar Executive brand. The carrier has 251 aircraft on order, including purchase options.
