Qatar Airways CEO says 'Boeing has lost its leadership'

Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker expressed his frustration at Boeing Thursday in Washington at a luncheon for the media as the jetmaker has repeatedly pushed back the delivery date for its Boeing 787 Dreamliner.

Qatar Airways has 60 787s on order (30 firm, 30 option) and is relying on the model to continue with its expansion.

"Unfortunately Boeing has lost its leadership," Al Baker said. "The mess with this (787) program could have been corrected a long time ago. If they had correctly focused management, they could have seen this coming."
