Qatar Airways eyes rapid growth as travel demand rebounds | Reuters
Qatar Airways announced plans for rapid growth on Tuesday, as the travel industry recovers from the pandemic.
Announcing objectives at the ITB tourism fair in Berlin, the Gulf carrier said it would add seven destinations, restore 11 others and boost the frequency of flights to 35 markets - marking a 21% rise in flights by July 2023, compared with the same month last year.
Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker, speaking in his first appearance since settling a major legal dispute with Airbus (AIR.PA), said the airline was being conservative because of its dependence on deliveries from Airbus or Boeing amid supply woes.
"Unfortunately it is not in their hands; I think supply chain problems will last a bit longer," Al Baker told a news conference during the world's largest tourism expo.
