Qatar Airways Farnborough

Never an airline to understate itself Qatar Airlines showed a Boeing 777 at the airshow with Chief Executive Akbar al Baker hosting a round table press briefing in the airlines chalet.

The “Triple Seven” was the star of the airline apron line with queues to view the impressive award winning interior. 

He confirmed that his airline has had to cut capacity by 30% on Heathrow services to comply with the 100k passengers a day cap and as a Board member of Heathrow, he wasn’t vocally critical, but said the problem was the short notice of the request.
