ID : 52243053| Feb 2023| 15 pages

COMPANY PROFILE -Qatar Airways

Business Sector :Aviation

Operating Geography :Middle East, Global

About Qatar Airways :

Qatar Airways established in 1993 is the state owned carrier of Qatar and a leading aviation player globally. Based out of Doha, Qatar; the airline serves over 150 destinations globally as of 2017 with a modern fleet of close to 200 aircrafts. The airline and its subsidiaries have more than 43,000 employees globally as of 2017.

Qatar Airways serves 350 other destinations by being a member of Oneworld global airline alliance. During the 2016-2017 period, Qatar Airways became the third largest member of the alliance with International Airlines Group (IAG) subsidiary and British Airways, sharing revenue on the London Heathrow-Doha route. Qatar Airways strengthed its shareholder position by attaining an appreciation in the share price from 15.24% to 20.01% in IAG, the world’s largest airlines group. Qatar Airways strives to transport more than 32 billion passengers yearly, and its determination for providing superior customer service and excellent flying experience has helped Qatar Airways sustain its position as one of the fastest growing airlines in the world. Qatar Airways is a proud holder of 4 prestigious awards, viz ‘world’s best business class’, the best airline in the Middle East’, ‘best business class seat’ and ‘best first class airline lounge’ at the 2018 Skytrax World Airline Awards. Qatar Airways became a fully government owned entity in 2014, with the country's sovereign fund, Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) buying the shares from its former prime minister and other shareholders.

Qatar Airways mission statement reads “Qatar Airways is the national carrier of the State of Qatar. Our global network now sees us flying to over 100 destinations worldwide and operating some of the youngest fleets in the sky. We are home to over 150 nationalities. Our mission is to deliver Excellence in Everything We Do.” Qatar Airyways vision statement reads “Qatar Airways aims to provide airline of your choice, offering the flights you want to the destinations you need.” Qatar Airways USP or unique selling proposition lies in “the unparalleled service they offer both on the ground and in the air for their passengers.”

Qatar Airways Revenue :


QAR 39.4 billion – FY ending 31st Mar 2017 (Y-O-Y growth of +21.7%)
QAR 35.7 billion - FY ending 31st Mar 2016

Ownership / Major shareholders :

Qatar Airways had been jointly held in a public-private partnership, with about 50% owned by private investors. However, Qatar's sovereign wealth fund in July 2013 has bought the 50% stakes in its national airline owned by former Prime Minister and other shareholders initially. Thus, Qatar Airways is now a fully Qatari government-owned entity.

Competitive Analysis of Qatar Airways

SWOT
PESTLE

The SWOT / TOWS analysis of Qatar Airways is a structure to evaluate the internal and external factors that influence the company’s micro and macro environment. The SWOT analysis is a convenient technique to interpret the strength, weakness, opportunity, and threats and their repercussions on the current business model of Qatar Airways group. Qatar Airways is the youngest airline having served all six continents. Owned totally by the government of Qatar, it is the official premium flagship carrier of the Qatar government. This gives Qatar Airways a competitive advantage over its peers from the aviation industry. Robust support from the Qatar government, operating in an oil-rich country, precise targeted travelers who can afford the luxurious flights, superior patron service both on and off board, flying to over 150 destinations and all-time award winner for its premium services are some of the key strengths of Qatar Airways which makes it the world’s leading airlines and a global leader of a kind. Qatar Airways faces high competition from low-cost carriers, as these flights target the passengers traveling with low budgets. Known for opulent flying, Qatar Airways primarily caters to passengers travelling internationally traveling passengers, who can afford business class. This is viewed as one prime weakness of the carrier as it lacks domestic travelers. Due to lesser destinations on national routes, the market share growth becomes limited for Qatar Airways.

Qatar Airways has strong strategic alliances with some great airways and it is a member of Oneworld global airline alliance. This clearly shows that Qatar Airways has a huge opportunity for further expansion of its base internationally with more such alliances and acquisitions. With its recently added fleets in the portfolio, there is a curiosity amongst travelers to opt for Qatar Airways due to its distinguished premium services, hence another big opportunity prevails in increasing the number of flights and routes to various other destinations. Competition from Emirates and Etihad airlines, wavering government regulation and policies, fluctuating fuel prices, political disputes, surrounded by combat zones like Syria and Palestine and passengers fearing terrorist acts are some of the major threats to Qatar Airways.
