In the airline industry, people come and go, but some names become synonymous with the airlines they lead. Sir Tim Clark had such a relationship with Emirates, and Qatar Airways had such a hyphenation with its former Group CEO, Akbar Al Baker. Eventually, Sir Tim is still around, but Qatar Airways has just lost another CEO after Al Baker.
Qatar Airways Appoints Hamad Ali Al-Khater as Group Chief Executive Officer
In a surprise move, Qatar Airways has let go of Badr Mohammed Al-Meer as CEO, who had been at the helm for just two years. Badr Mohammed Al-Meer was brought in after Akbar Al Baker left the airline after 27 years of association.
Qatar Airways Group today announced the appointment of Mr Hamad Ali Al‑Khater as Group Chief Executive Officer, effective December 7, 2025. Mr Al‑Khater succeeds Engr. Badr Mohammed Al‑Meer.

Qatar Airways Group CEO Badr Mohammed Al-Meer has been replaced at the airline, with Mr Hamad Ali Al‑Khater taking on the role with immediate effect. No one knows what circumstances led to this move, but this seems to be becoming a frequent incident at Qatar Airways now.
What do you make of Badr Mohammed Al-Meer being removed from Qatar Airways?
