US startup airline offered Qatar Airways 25% stake: Baker

KUWAIT A start-up airline in the United States has offered a 25 percent stake to Qatar Airways, its Group Chief Executive Akbar al Baker said on Wednesday.
The start-up airline was private and so Qatar Airways would not face the same opposition this time, Baker told reporters at an air show in Kuwait. However, he declined to name the airline or disclose where it would be based and did not say if Qatar Airways intended to purchase the stake.
