Qatar Airways chief confirms airline now government-owned - Doha News:



"

Qatar’s national carrier became wholly government-owned following last year’s leadership transition, the company’s CEO has said.



The airline has previously alluded to the change in Arabic signage around Qatar, and confirmed the move to Doha News last fall. But this is the first time Akbar Al Baker has publicly spoken about the restructuring.



Before the new Emir assumed power from his father, Qatar Airways was half-owned by the country’s former prime minister, Hamad Bin Jassim Al Thani (also known as HBJ) and other stakeholders."
