Al-Meer's roadmap emphasizes innovation as a cornerstone, evident in Qatar Airways' forthcoming offerings, notably the introduction of new First Class cabins across select aircraft in its fleet.
In his first interview since assuming the role of group CEO in November 2023, Al-Meer described the current period as a transformative era for the airline.
