– Charged de affairs of Chairman of board in 1998

He has participated in many symposiums during his professional life in the fields of aviation and administration, especially in AACO – something that has reinforced the role of Yemenia Airways within the organization and whose participation has increased since he became Chairman of the Board.
During the conference, the request of Yemenia Airways to organize the 38th conference in Yemen in 2005 was approved. The meeting featured the signing of a partnership and cooperation agreement between Yemenia and Qatari Airlines by captain Abdulkhaliq al-Qadhi and Akber al-Bakher, Chairman of Qatari Airlines. The agreement which is considered the first of its kind, is concerned with cooperation between both the companies in following the recommendations of the AACO.
