Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani lands in Paris fresh off the G7 summit

Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani flew from Doha to Paris Charles de Gaulle on 17 June 2026 aboard the Boeing 747-8 BBJ A7-HHE, arriving after a five-hour, 45-minute crossing. The flight lands just one day after the Emir departed the same city of light for Doha, signaling a swift return to French soil.

The same week, the Emir was attending the Group of Seven summit in Evian-les-Bains at the invitation of President Emmanuel Macron, as reported by The Peninsula Qatar. During that gathering, per Al Jazeera and TRT World, the Emir held a press briefing with U.S. President Donald Trump, hailing the new U.S.-Iran deal and touting Qatari-American trade ambitions. The summit included a working session on Middle East stability and the Strait of Hormuz.

This return visit to France — after the Emir had already flown the same A7-HHE from Paris to Doha on 16 June — suggests follow-on meetings or business tied to the summit's outcomes. Paris has long been a diplomatic hub for the Emir; his recurring visits to LFPB and LFPG reflect the city's role in both statecraft and Qatar's extensive European investment portfolio, managed by the sovereign wealth fund he oversees.
