Delta CEO and Georgia senators accuse Qatar Airways of unfair competition

He believes Qatar Airways is creating inequitable competition through unfair business practices, and is squeezing American air carriers out of the European market.

Bastian added, “Only months later, Qatar is back to their old tricks, thumbing its nose at the Trump Administration with its clumsy scheme to get around its promises. These Italian routes, already highly competitive and well-served by existing carriers, are simply not economically viable without Qatari subsidies. By flooding these markets with subsidized capacity and dropping prices far below cost, Qatar is launching another assault on U.S. airline employees and travelers, and disrespecting the Administration.”
