Boeing, meanwhile, maintains its position that no retaliative actions were taken as the company has a strict policy to prevent such situations.

I’ve written about how airlines frequently oversell flights , which could lead to overbooking situations. This happens when there are more passengers booked on a flight than there are seats. The concept of airline overbooking made global headlines back in 2017, when David Dao was dragged off a United Express flight for refusing to give up his seat. Now, odds are that when most people think of airline overbooking, their goal is to avoid getting bumped.

In September 2023, we saw former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce resign ahead of his planned retirement. Joyce had served as Qantas CEO since 2008, and while the airline reported record profits at the time, the company’s reputation was at an all-time low, and the airline even faced significant fines from the government over its business practices. What caused additional outrage at the time was what a big bonus Joyce was getting for this performance as he was on his way out, so there’s now a major update…

What comes to mind when you think of Qatar Airways ? Perhaps the QSuite, state funding, or a sea of widebodies. What probably does not immediately spring forth is the carrier's least-served routes. It is similar for most airlines. Perhaps it is because it's less 'sexy,' global-reaching, or involves less shiny aircraft. In Qatar Airways' case, most such services are on the ubiquitous and soon-to-be-retired A320ceo , which is hardly earth-shattering.
