Out of 24 SWF-owned airlines, the largest was International Airlines Group (IAG) with 456 planes in its fleet in 2022. The Qatar Investment Authority (QIA) held a majority share of IAG and was the sole owner of Qatar Airways. This SWF, or sovereign wealth fund, was one of the largest SWFs by assets under management globally, though not as large as its Norwegian or Chinese counterparts.
