Qatar Airways CEO sees no need for concessions to U.S. airlines

Qatar Airways Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker said on Monday he saw no reason for Middle Eastern governments to propose any changes to transportation policy in response to U.S. airlines that allege unfair competition from Gulf carriers. U.S. airlines are trying to persuade the United States to alter “Open Skies” agreements with the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, accusing them of giving their airlines more than $40 billion in subsidies and distorting competition.
