RAK Airways lines up Kathmandu and Bangkok under 2012 expansion

3-Feb-2012 3:54 PM

RAK Airways’ expansion is rolling on, with the carrier announcing plans to serve Kathmandu from 15-Feb-2012. Kathmandu will become the carrier’s 11th new route added since it re-launched its operations in Oct-2010 after a 12-month suspension of operations.

The carrier will see competition on services between the UAE and Nepal from Flydubai, Air Arabia and Etihad Airways and Nepal Airlines. RAK will face competition from UAE-based carriers that already have well-established operations to Kathmandu. Air Arabia has operated to Kathmandu since Nov-2006, Etihad Airways launched its operations in Oct-2007 and Flydubai debuted in Dec-2009.

UAE seeing ‘unprecedented’ growth in aircraft traffic

21-Oct-2010 5:11 PM

The strong growth at UAE airports continues, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi leading the way. The UAE General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) reports that air traffic movements in the country grew at an “unprecedented” rate of 12.8% year-on-year over Sep-2010, with 52,691 aircraft movements in the month. This follows on from an 8.7% year-on-year increase in aircraft movements Aug-2010. (Note: traffic figures have been skewed by the shifting of Ramadan into August, which was partially responsible for the slowdown in that month).

However, Chairman, Sheikh Omar bin Saqr Al Qasimi, stated conditions have now improved, especially in terms of international demand, meaning now is the right time for it to make a “spectacular re-entry into the market”.
