With the engaging and always interesting Akbar Al Baker, CEO of Qatar Airways, as the guest speaker, the Aviation Club expects that its lunch at the Institute of Directors on 17 October will sell out quickly. Mr Al Baker last spoke in February 2003 when Qatar Airways was a small player in the international airline game. Today it is an award winning carrier noted for the quality of its service and Mr Al Baker a member of the Board of Governors of IATA. New Aviation Club membership taken at this time is valid until December 2013.
Readers are reminded that Thursday’s lunch (13 September), where Keith Williams of British Airways will no doubt deliver wise words, very quickly became a waitlist operation with many people disappointed. www.aviationclub.org.uk
