Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani flies from Charles de Gaulle to Orly after G7 summit

Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani flew from Charles de Gaulle International Airport to Paris-Orly Airport on June 21, 2026, a brief 20-minute repositioning flight aboard his Boeing 747-8 BBJ, tail number A7-HHE. The short hop came days after the Emir attended the G7 Summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, at the invitation of President Emmanuel Macron, as reported by [The Peninsula Qatar](https://thepeninsulaqatar.com/article/16/06/2026/amir-attends-g7-summit).

The same week the Emir was in France, he met with U.S. President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the summit, reaffirming strong Qatar–U.S. relations and discussing regional stability, per [Marhaba](https://marhaba.qa/hh-the-amir-meets-us-president-reaffirms-strong-qatar-us-relations/). The meeting also touched on the Emir's 2025 gift of a Boeing 747-8 to the U.S., which Trump unveiled as a new presidential aircraft at Joint Base Andrews, as covered by [BBC News](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cn8kz80n157o) and [Anadolu Agency](https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/trump-unveils-qatari-747-that-will-serve-as-new-presidential-aircraft/3972643).

The Emir's aircraft has been shuttling between Paris airports and Doha in recent days, with flights to and from Jubail and Ras Tanura in Saudi Arabia. The Orly repositioning likely readies the jet for the Emir's onward travel, as Qatar Amiri Flight continues its role as an airborne embassy for diplomatic missions worldwide.
