Qatar airways extends global ambitions

Qatar Airways is extending its global ambitions with plans to buy a stake in Latam Airlines Group SA, securing a partnership with South America’s biggest carrier as it scouts for opportunities to lock down relationships with other airlines.
Qatar will buy as much as 10 percent of Chile-based Latam for USD613 million, the No. 2 Gulf carrier said yesterday at the Farnborough Air Show. With the agreement, Qatar is making its second investment in a fellow member of the Oneworld alliance after previously buying 15 percent of IAG SA, which is one of Latam’s closest allies.
State-owned Qatar is advancing its efforts build a network of international partners, even though its influence is typically limited by laws restricting foreign shareholdings. In addition to its stake in IAG and the deal with Latam, it’s also interested in Royal Air Maroc, which would provide access to North African markets, as well as Italy’s Meridiana SpA.
