Qatar Airways will bid on Saudi Arabia’s new domestic and international aviation licence, its chief executive said on Tuesday.
“We are in the process of receiving an RFP [request for proposal] and submitting the RFP,” Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker said at the Farnborough International Air Show.
Saudi Arabia moved a step closer to allowing new airlines to operate out of the kingdom on Tuesday, after its top aviation authority short-listed companies vying for a licence to cater to fast-growing demand in the Middle East’s biggest economy. The General Authority Of Civil Aviation, or GACA, has prequalified seven out of the 14 companies that had bid earlier this year for a new airline licence to operate domestic and international flights in the kingdom, according to the state-run Saudi Press Agency, or SPA.
