• Oman Air reports record passengers, but also record losses
  19-Apr-2012

  2011 was another expensive year for Oman Air. The carrier reported a record loss of OMR110 million (USD286 million) in 2011, a year that saw the carrier dealing with ballooning oil prices, regional political unrest and some problems with its own workforce.

  This is the fourth consecutive annual loss suffered by the carrier. Since the Oman Government took majority ownership in early 2007, the airline has lost a staggering OMR295 million (USD766.9 million). The losses have not been surprising to anyone; the carrier and Government intentionally planned to ramp up expansion in the fast-growing market and then concentrate on profitability, taking the long-term view that setting the foundation blocks early – even if at a loss for some years ­– would yield a healthier profit in the future.

• The Middle East continues powerfully on thanks to the Gulf carriers, despite some setbacks
  16-Apr-2012

  The Gulf carriers continued to go from strength to strength in 2011; Etihad made its first (narrow) profit and Emirates again returned the strongest result of any airline globally, even though it was substantially affected by increased fuel prices.

  The three major sixth freedom hubs in the Middle East – Abu Dhabi, Doha and Dubai – added 7.7 million passengers between them in 2011, continuing strong growth, despite the regional disruptions. Much of this is testament to the strength of the home carriers, the industry-aligned development policies pursued at each airport and the vision of local governments to transform their cities into major aviation centres. (The contrast with European governments is extreme, as they meanwhile continue to see the sector as a taxation target, to the great detriment of the industry there.)
