During the Qatar Economic Forum in Doha, Qatar Airways CEO Badr Mohammed Al Meer expressed concerns regarding the delivery delays of new aircraft from planemakers Airbus and Boeing. Al Meer emphasised the necessity for both companies to exert more pressure on their suppliers to address these delays, which are impeding airlines' capacity to meet the increasing demand for travel.

Al Meer stated that Qatar Airways is endeavouring to support both Boeing and Airbus in finding solutions to expedite deliveries. He acknowledged the challenges faced by the planemakers in the supply chain market but emphasised the need for them to increase pressure on their suppliers to alleviate the strain on airlines.

Al Meer further highlighted the surge in demand for air travel following the pandemic but noted that planemakers are grappling with restoring production levels due to disruptions in the supply chain and the Boeing safety crisis.

Al Meer lamented that Qatar Airways is unable to fulfill the heightened demand for travel post-COVID due to the scarcity of new aircraft.
