Qatar Airways targets other US investments after American rebuff

Doha

QATAR Airways hasn't given up on investing in the United States after scrapping plans to buy a stake in American Airlines Group Inc amid opposition from the Fort Worth, Texas-based company.

"We have other opportunities, both in America and North America, which we will consider," Akbar Al Baker, the Persian Gulf carrier's chief executive officer, said on Wednesday in the Qatari capital Doha. "I have some things in mind. The US is an important market for us."
