QATAR - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Qatar has prospered in the last several years with continued high real GDP growth. GDP was driven largely by the oil and gas sector however growth in the manufacturing, construction, and financial services sectors have pushed the non-oil component to just over half of Qatar’s nominal GDP for the first time since 2000. Economic policy is focused on sustaining Qatar's nonassociated natural gas reserves and increasing private and foreign investment in non-energy sectors, but oil and gas still account for roughly 92% of export earnings, and 62% of government revenues. Oil and gas have made Qatar the world's highest per-capita income country and the country with the lowest unemployment. Proved oil reserves in excess of 25 billion barrels should enable continued output at current levels for about 56 years. Qatar's proved reserves of natural gas exceed 25 trillion cubic meters, about 13% of the world total and third largest in the world. Qatar's successful 2022 World Cup bid is accelerating large-scale infrastructure projects such as Qatar's metro system, light rail system, the construction of a new port, roads, stadiums and related sporting infrastructure. The new Hamad International Airport opened in mid-2014 with an initial annual passenger capacity of 24 million and with a projected 50 million when complete.

United Media International Company

 

Doha International Airport

 

Qatar Aviation Services

 

Qatar Duty Free Company

 

Qatar Distribution Company

OPERATIONS

 

Activities: By the end of 2003 Qatar Airways was flying to 50 destinations across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, the Indian subcontinent and the Far East. This has now been increased to over 144 destinations.

 

Subject’s fleet comprises 134 aircraft and over the next year subject expects to take delivery of some of the 170 planes it currently has on order.

 

Fleet Details

 

-  31 Airbus A320-200s

-  16 Airbus A330-200s

-  13 Airbus A330-300s

-  10 Airbus A321-200s

Subject also operates the In-flight Duty division called “Qatar Airways Inflight Duty Free” which is involved in the retail of on-board duty free products, including perfumes, toys and luxury items.

 

During September 2014 subject took delivery of its first A380 from Airbus, promising “class” not butlers for passengers travelling from London’s Heathrow airport to Doha when the superjumbo takes up the route next month. The delivery of the first of 10 A380s ordered by Qatar Airways brings to an end a three-month dispute between the airline and Airbus over the quality of the cabin interiors. Mr Al Baker had previously rejected delivery of the aircraft after saying the cabin was not up to expectations. Mr Al Baker hinted that Qatar Airways, which has ordered 80 A350s, could buy more.

 

Import Countries: Europe and the United States of America

 

Subject has a workforce of approximately 17,000 employees.
