Seems to me that this whole issue is being hijacked by many and various interest groups. They certainly don't seem to be speaking as one voice.
If they want more Qataris, and they want those Qataris to have a 60% pay rise, and they want subsidised airfares etc, then this can only result in higher, not lower, overall fares.
Or do they want lower fares in general? If so, how will the airline maintain its proud 5-star ranking?
Or do they just want more competition, and let the market for fares operate without restriction?
It will be interesting to see how (or just if) it all plays out.
