Air Arabia profit edges up in second quarter

12-Aug-11 5:42 PM

Air Arabia has overcome a regional travel downturn and “tumultuous” market conditions to post a profit for the three months to 30-Jun-2011 of AED51 million (USD13.9 million), a modest increase of 2% over the same period in 2011.

European airlines ramp-up capacity to China

10-Aug-11 5:33 PM

Asia Pacific, particularly China, is one of the current destination hotspots for European carriers, with connections between Europe and China improving in recent months and over the past couple of years. The initial focus was obviously on providing connectivity between key European hubs and the capital city of Beijing, with services to Shanghai also quite extensive, although a number of carriers are adding service to secondary, albeit still large destinations in China, such as Chengdu, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Chongqin, Urumqi, Sancha, Dalian and Harbin.

Arab unrest puts brakes on Air Arabia's Jordan expansion

28-Jul-11 4:10 PM

The ripples from the Arab Spring continue to spread. Air Arabia, the largest LCC in the Middle East, announced in Jun-2011 that it would delay the launch of its Jordanian JV due to the downturn in traffic in the region, as well as higher oil prices. While the political and social environment in Jordan is described by the carrier as “stable”, Syria, Bahrain, Egypt and Tunisia still have not resolved local political instability.

13-Apr-11 10:13 AM

The UAE General Civil Aviation Authority has developed a new organisational structure to transform its management of flight management control operations and safety and security quality standards. GCAA launched its Comprehensive Transformation Programme in 2010 and has already developed new financial and strategic plans.

Oman to invest USD105 million to transform air navigation system

15-Dec-10 5:25 PM

Oman has announced it will adopt a new air traffic management system to complement the massive investment it is making in its airport sector. In late Nov-2010, the Oman Government confirmed it had awarded Spanish ATM and communications specialist Indra a USD105 million contract to develop and implement a new ATM system for the country, following an initial contract signed in Jul-2010.

Korean Air: A record low density for the A380

28-Oct-10 11:48 AM

20 new A380s are due to be delivered by Airbus this year, almost doubling the global A380 fleet. The next airlines due to join the family of carriers operating the aircraft are Korean Air and China Southern. While China Southern has remained quiet on its seating plans for the aircraft, Korean Air is continuing the trend of offering surprisingly low seat densities.
