Qatar Airways is once again flirting with releasing its financial results, this time after a 16-month campaign by US carriers over subsidy allegations. In 2014, Qatar Airways CE Akbar Al Baker said the airline would release its financials before the end of Q3 that year. That never happened. This week, Al Baker said they would be out by June when its “last financial year audit is complete”. A similar comment was made 2 years ago. But the disclosure of those numbers might not be up to him. “The problem with us is we’re a govt-owned entity. We have to take permission from our Ministry of Finance,” Al Baker said. Qatar Airways has never released its financials, and although Al Baker has said the airline is profitable, releasing the figures could help dismiss allegations that the airline is state-subsidised. <br/>
