Qatar Air Targets Investments in Airlines Amid Expansion Strains

Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer Akbar Al Baker said he intends to make more investments in other airlines this year as the No. 2 Gulf carrier seeks opportunities to expand.

“We are looking at many airlines,”Al Baker said on Thursday in an interview at the Bahrain Air Show, declining to identify potential targets. “Either they will be successful airlines or they will be airlines where we see there is high potential and that potential is not being properly exercised.”
