Qatar Air CEO details new U.S. routes, shrugs off concerns about AA

A pre-emptive strike ?

[slowjet]

Just thinking about massive route expansion out of a small country like Qatar. Where does QR get all this money ? Is it a bottomless pit where profits do not count ? Why couldn't, didn,t, neighbouring Gulfair do the same ? The latter now shrinking into igmonimity (blimey, that looks wrong !) yet a small. neighbouring country continues to order every aircraft in the book & expand, worldwide.

Where does QR get all this money ?

The State of Qatar.

Is it a bottomless pit

Yes - literally. Qatar has vast reserves of natural gas which they export at a huge profit....

[Iver]

Any guesses on whether 777s or 787s might be deployed on these new US routes? Huge Muslim population in Detroit - my bet is a 777-300ER for Detroit.

[Non Zero]

Qatar is one of the richest country in the world!

Is it a bottomless pit where profits do not count ?

It is bottomless but profits count ... lots of waste ... needs more effective/efficiency!

400.000 pax per year, is a good number.....

[Gutter Airways]

Good luck with getting rights to YYZ. Protectionism of AC may be wrong, but let me draw your attention to this:

Hope AB will take meal vouchers, that's about all there is in ATH to pay for the tickets
