The joy of spending the weekend in a city like Toronto is that you're going to be out all day long. There are fantastic restaurants; cool shopping streets; and a generally walkable heart of the city where you can bop from museums to vintage stores to Portuguese bakeries without missing a beat.
Qatar Airways CEO Akbar Al Baker Steps Down
23.10.2023 - 15:26 / skift.com / Qantas Airways
Akbar Al Baker is retiring as chief executive of Qatar Airways following more than two decades at the helm of the state-owned carrier, according to a source familiar with the matter.
It was not immediately clear why Al Baker, who was appointed CEO in 1997, three years after the airline launched, is retiring.
Qatar Airways representatives could not immediately be reached for comment.
It was announced on Sunday that Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamid Al Thani had replaced Al Baker as the country’s top tourism official. No reason was given for the decision.
Al Baker has been instrumental in transforming Qatar Airways into an major international carrier that competes against the likes of Dubai’s Emirates and Turkish Airlines.
