一 | NEW YORK -- Qatar Airways Group chief executive Akbar Al Baker is stepping down after 27 years leading the company.Al Baker's retirement will go into effect Nov. 5, Qatar Airways said Monday. He will be succeeded by Badr Mohammed Al-Meer — who currently serves as the chief operating officer of Hamad International Airport in Doha, the hub of Qatar's national carrier.In Monday's announcement, Qatar Airways said that it “has grown to become one of the most recognisable and trusted brands globally” under Al Baker's leadership. The company pointed to seven “World's Best Airline” wins, among other allocates.During his tenure at Qatar Airways, Al Baker became known for being one of the most outspoken leaders in the airline industry — with a hard-changing, sometimes confrontational approach that carried into negotiations with manufacturers and others.Al Baker has also made some controversial comments over his career — including suggesting that women can’t run airlines and for calling American carriers “crap” and that their passengers were “always being served by grandmothers.” He later apologized for both remarks.Last year, Al Baker lashed out at critics of Qatar hosting the FIFA World Cup, saying his nation will “always rub salt into the wound” of its adversaries — following concerns from some other countries and soccer teams over how Qatar manages its vast population of low-paid migrant workers and its stance on LGBTQ rights.In July, Qatar Airways reported a profit of $1.2 billion over the last fiscal year, boosted in part by the country’s hosting of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. That's down slightly from the $1.5 billion profit posted the year prior — in part due to a spike in operating expenses, particularly in jet fuels as energy prices rose after the grip of the pandemic loosened and air travel resumed.Qatar Airway's earned revenue of $20.9 billion over the fiscal year, up from $14.4 billion the year before.。 AI摘要 泉州白濑水利枢纽配套工程——安溪剑斗互通连接线东阳大桥至省道217段复建进展顺利,关键节点剑溪宫大桥悬浇梁合龙、T梁预制完成,全长1.178公里,将完善库区交通网络。 泉州白濑水利枢纽重要组成部分——安溪县剑斗互通连接线东阳大桥至省道217段迁移复建工程加快推进。截至目前,关键工程剑溪宫大桥下部结构已完成,悬浇梁顺利合龙,22片T梁预制完成,为项目后续施工打下坚实基础。 该工程全长1.178公里,按双向两车道、设计时速40公里标准建设,建成后将进一步完善库区交通网络。(融媒体记者 林劲峰 宋尧摄)。
