Hot rumor!! Qatar airways acquires 49% stake in tk?!?
When I first got it, I thought it was garbage, but a source tells me that there is some truth to it, so...... This is literally developing by the minute guys, stay tuned. |
Wow...I didn't see that coming.
|
Payback for Turkey supporting the Qataris in the regional stand-off?
|
This rumour has not been totally denied by TK.
|
Ah so now we know why Qatar gave that shiny 747-8i BBJ to the Turkish Government.. ;)
|
Qatar joining the Star Alliance?!
|
Or more likely TK joining one world —- despite what AAB has said about oneworld QR already has extensive investments in IAG and other OW airlines — they are, I would have thought, unlikely to join a rival alliance but who knows — this would certainly be a turn up that’s for sure. Hope Do & Co etc remain in place if this is real. |

Seems like a strong denial. |
I had actually written "now" rather than "not" and the phone auto corrected.
|
Yup its totally not true https://www.trtworld.com/turkey/turk...pokesman-25128
|
They could do with some cash but they are directly competing with QR so it will be a strange partner choice.

I wrote "some truth" and will leave it there. I personally found it unlikely that anything would ever happen before the elections, nor that it would be that big a stake.
|
Are they really in need of cash? I under the impression they were doing fine. Anecdotally, their cabins are always full whenever I've flown with them.
|
The new airport as i understand is causing huge strains on TK. They had to self-invest in alot of facilities and the payback period will be over the next decade.
How about TK work strategically for QR? |
