Al-Baker: India ‘crucial’ for Qatar Airways plans

India, which is now the fourth largest civil aviation market in the world, is a crucial market for Qatar Airways, said the airline’s group chief executive HE Akbar al-Baker.
“With the Indian government planning to invest in developing more than 20 major airports and several smaller airports over the next five years, it’s a very exciting time for the aviation industry in India, and we look forward to discussing these topics this week in Mumbai. I am very pleased to be in India once again to be able to participate in this important panel discussion,” al-Baker said at the Global Aviation Summit in Mumbai.
India has become the fourth largest civil aviation market after the US, China and Japan.
Al-Baker addressed key leaders of the aviation industry, including senior airline and airport executives as well as government officials and senior dignitaries in a panel discussion titled “Airports of the Future and Building Great Aviation Business.”
Alongside al-Baker on the panel were key industry influencers, including director general of International Air Transport Association, Alexandre de Juniac and speakers from around the world of aviation. The session focused on the need for development and modernisation of aviation infrastructure in India, as well as identifying financial opportunities by governments globally and introducing new policy innovation that can increase the financial sustainability of low-traffic airports.
