Economical Factor of Qatar Airways
Economical factor:
Over the past ten years the airline was among the fastest growing airlines in the world and had a 35% year-on-year growth rate. With the government’s support of the carrier and aviation infrastructure investment, Qatar’s air transportation development has been stimulated. The government is commited to the success of Qatar Airways which is exemplified by the fact that in 2002 they decided to withdraw their 25% share in Bahrain-based carrier Gulf Air in order to develop their own national airline. The government also invested into the development of a new Doha International Airport which is set to open in 2009.
The state of Qatar is also investing into expansion of its aviation infrastructure, national airline and supporting business infrastructure. In recent years, the increasing oil and gas revenues made Qatar the highest per capita income country in the world. While these revenues still account for more than 60% of Qatar’s GDP, the government began to diversify economic activity. Air transportation system development has been an integral part of the government’s economic diversification strategy. (http://dspace.mit.edu/bitstream/handle/1721.1/49882/466107164.pdf?sequence=1)
