Since AOC for QA company "Al Maha Airways" was rejected, Qatari airline started to look for another way of expansion.
Following the example of Etihad, QA is about to buy a stake (well the whole thing basically) in Bosnian Airlines in order to compete with Etihad.
Bosnia was chosen for the simple fact that they are not part of EU making the regulations less strict, followed by cheap labor and pretty good geographical position.
This is just a rumor that leaked out from QA circles. What do you guys think?
