Qatar Airways hasn’t given up on investing in the US after scrapping plans to buy a stake in American Airlines Group Inc amid opposition from the Fort Worth, Texas-based company. “We have other opportunities, both in America and North America, which we will consider,” Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive Akbar Al Baker said. “I have some things in mind. The US is an important market for us.”
Qatar Airways ended its interest in American on August 2 after the US company’s chief, Doug Parker, said he wasn’t keen on having the Gulf carrier as a shareholder.
