Qatar Airways' CEO, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, is the most prolific guy in the airline industry. He's never afraid to share how he feels, whether it's about his airline's work practices... ...or Airbus delivering planes on time. But if there's one topic Al Baker is passionate about, it's how horrible of a person…

He's kind of like Donald Trump, a WWE attraction and the PR minister of Iraq (2002 version) all rolled into one.
I believe the guy standing next to him is Ray Conner, the CEO of Boeing Commercial
That's probably footage taken during the delivery ceremony of QR's 25th B787 aircraft on Nov. 4, 2015
I would vote for a "Al Baker vs Richard Anderson" episode in Epic Rap Battles of History
Wonder if it's these B772 Richard Anderson is looking to buy?

I want Donald Trump to pick this guy as his Vice President. I would vote for them both.
Guessing Akbar meant to say "767 & 757" not 787 for $10 million. Maybe he's the one having a senior moment after all.
More of him and less of the cry baby US union carriers. Love his honestly instead of PC crap from most.
Baker is actually able to give his honest opinion. And he is right about the prices - if Qatar charged the same as delta, they would be making record profits. Their planes and service is far better than any american airline
Love the video! Can somebody create a petition in change.org. Both Mr Al Baker and Mr Anderson should be in a match, any match. MMA, boxing, riff off, whatever .... Hell, I'll take lip sync battle between the two!
lol dunno why ben's post come off as hater-ish... if anything, you should be his biggest fan. al safwa and al mourjan lounge amazing! cant complain at all about free-flowing krug, billecart-salmon & pol roger rose 2006... how are them lame skyclubs doing?
about the planes - worlds apart. much rather fly QR's A380, B787, A350 biz class - which is the worlds best biz class, not BA F like you say 😉 ... and their F class is pretty dope too, having recently flown em. QRs prices are on point as well, part of the reason why awards are more or less readily available. becoz they dont charge an arm and a leg for superb customer service, great products onboard and a great on-ground experience.... screw delta, screw anderson, he maybe doing his job like a corporate lawyer, but I dont own any of their stock so I could give 2 shits how much profit they are raking in. they need to step their game up big time w newer planes, better cabins, reintroducing F class and reviving their retarded frequent flyer program. then they'll have any room to talk about the airlines that are actually doing something customer friendly.
Are you seriously that uneducated? Akbar is next to Ray Conner, the CEO of Boeing Commerical Airplanes. You think you know everything but you don't.
I love "they have all the rights they require." Hmmmm. According to who?
@james, gee, that's one big chip you have on your shoulder. Get over yourself.
Actually he's a liar, it's true they have to get permission.
I know many people who work for QA and told me so. Qatar is a small country. Easy to find out if something is true or not!
Wonderful! I prefer the customer first approach, for safety and comfort we all LOVE new airplanes!
