The Chief Executive At Qatar Airways Has Some Pretty Strong Words To Say About The Electronics Ban

Avatar

 US President Donald Trump’s recent electronics ban on board US-bound flights from eight, mostly Middle Eastern and North African countries, continues to infuriate residents, and it looks like we aren’t the only ones.

Speaking to a business website in a recent interview with Akbar Al-Baker, chief executive of Qatar’s flag carrying airline Qatar Airways, reacted to the ban citing it as an ill-thought-out and ill-advised decision. 

So he basically shared the sentiments of most UAE residents

“Frankly I didn’t think this ban was necessary at all. Now people who want to disrupt aviation will do it from others places where there’s no ban. It was not necessary to frighten passengers and to put strain on airlines….If [Trump] continues this way, at the end of the day you will have people sitting in the airplane with underwear and nothing [else] on them.”
