The chief executive of Qatar Airways has warned that disruption across the aviation industry will last for years as companies recover from the effects of the pandemic.
“Covid has damaged the supply chain of the industry . . . I think that it will last for a couple of years — it is not going to go away tomorrow,” Akbar Al Baker told the Financial Times in an interview.
Labour shortages in Europe, delays in aircraft deliveries from manufacturers and a lack of spare parts had all affected Qatar Airways, he added.
Guillaume Faury, chief executive of the world’s largest plane maker Airbus, last week said he expected supply chain issues to continue into next year, with manufacturers facing shortages of raw materials, spare parts and electronic components.
