Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive, Akbar Al Baker, said: “Qatar Airways is delighted to be returning to this year’s Paris Air Show. It has already been a landmark year for us, as we took delivery of our 250th aircraft in March – an incredible achievement for an airline that started with just four aircraft in 1997.
