Qatar Airways has restored 85% of its pre-crisis network and is flying about 140 daily departures to more than 160 destinations as it pushes past the Gulf disruption tied to the Iran war and airspace closures.
The carrier also named Abdulla Ali as chief operating officer and Calum Laming, formerly British Airways chief customer officer, as chief customer officer. Both roles take effect on 1 November and report to Group CEO Hamad Al-Khater.
The move pairs schedule recovery with a tighter operating model, giving the airline a stronger hand as Gulf traffic normalises and competitors keep working alternative routings.
