Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani returns to Doha after G7 summit and diplomatic swing

Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani flew from Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport in Sardinia to Doha International Airport on June 22, landing early on June 23 after a five-hour, ten-minute flight aboard his Boeing 747-8 BBJ, tail A7-HHE.

The same week, the Emir attended the Group of Seven summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, where he joined a working session on Middle East stability and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, per the Peninsula Qatar. He had also made a working visit to Athens on April 28, meeting Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, and stopped in Jeddah for talks with Saudi leadership on Gulf cohesion and mediation tracks, as covered by Qatar Updates and Qatar Standard.

The Sardinia departure, likely a brief stop after the G7, slots into a pattern of high-level diplomacy: earlier in June, the Emir’s aircraft shuttled between Paris, London, Vancouver, and Los Angeles, reflecting the Amiri Flight’s role as an airborne embassy for a sovereign whose travel blends summit attendance with bilateral investment and regional security coordination.
