Like that's going to happen!

This has been tried how many times already?

There is zero benefit for Qatar - if they want to operate out of CMB they could just start their own Airline.

This does clearly show just how out of ideas and desperate the GOSL is.

This would be the last thing Qatar would want to do. They have already spent 38 $ billion of their reserves since the blockade and wouldn't want to see more dissappear in a blackhole. If the government wants funding they will have to look towards China or even India. None of the ME3 is in good financial health to go begging there.

Qatar Airways rushes team to discuss partnership with UL

A high powered delegation from Qatar Airways is expected in Colombo next week for talks with SriLankan Airlines and explore possibilities of a joint partnership arrangement. The move follows talks President Maithripala Sirisena held with Qatari leader Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani during a two-day state visit to Doha this week. The President had appealed to the Emir to give his request urgent consideration.

As a result, Qatar is rushing a top level delegation from its national airline. President Sirisena is learnt to have telephoned State Enterprise Development Minister Kabir Hashim in Colombo and asked him to be prepared to receive the delegation. He had also told Minister Hashim that he should ensure SriLankan Airlines is ready for talks on a partnership agreement.
