QATAR AIRWAYS DISMISSES TALK OF DEAL WITH BA
Doha, Qatar — The head of Qatar Airways has shot down suggestions that the fast-growing Gulf carrier is pursuing an alliance with British Airways’ parent company.
CEO Akbar al-Baker told reporters in Doha on Monday that suggestions of a deal are nothing more than ‘‘press rumors.’’ He says no talks are ongoing with any carrier about a partnership for now.
BA’s longtime ally Qantas this month said it plans to end its alliance with the British carrier after Qantas signed a 10-year partnership deal with Gulf carrier Emirates.
