Akbar Al Baker, QR Group CEO during the FIFA Legends Event on Dec 11, 2022. He has retired as CEO of Qatar Airways, a source familiar with the matter said on Oct 23, 2023. Qatar Airways could not immediately be reached for comment. Airbus and Qatar Airways settled at the end of January, averting a rare and potentially damaging UK court trial in the jet sector. It was not immediately clear whether Al Baker was retiring from other posts, which include serving as the chief executive of Hamad International Airport and of Qatar Duty Free.
