Qatar Airways has not closed the door on plans to start an airline in India: Akbar Al Baker
Qatar Airways has not given up on its plans for starting an airline in India, despite announcing a code-share agreement with IndiGo on Thursday, said. In an exclusive interview to the HinduBusinessLine, Al Baker outlines why his airline has no interest in Air India’s divestment and plans to attract Indian football fans for the FIFA 2022 World Cup, which Qatar is hosting.
What happens to your plans for starting an airline in India after today’s announcement of a codeshare with IndiGo Airlines?
We are still open to starting an airline in India. But we really do not have direction on exactly how to do it, because we get so many mixed messages.
