Qatar Airways has restored its network to 85% of pre-crisis levels and created two new executive posts as it resets for the next phase of growth.
The carrier said the milestone came with the launch of its summer 2026 schedule, lifting operations to more than 140 daily departures from Doha across over 160 destinations worldwide. It also confirmed the appointments of a chief operating officer and a chief customer officer, with Ali and Laming due to start on 1 November 2026. The move follows a 2026 target to rebuild the network to 85% by mid-June.
The structure signals a shift from recovery management to scale, yield and service execution.
