Gulf airlines’ spending spree looks a bold gamble
Fuel prices up, passenger numbers down, says airline industry association. Here’s hoping someone got it right at Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways.

So, you’re the person who decided to sign off $X billion on a fleet of shiny new Airbus and Boeings. And now the International Air Transport Association has come out with a report saying the airline industry will lose $5.bn this year and $4.1bn next. I hope you have a well prepared argument to give to colleagues as to why this round of record-breaking purchases makes sense.
Good luck next year.

Well, i would believe losses to hold true for developed economies more but not so much for marktes like UAE, Qatar. Why? Its pretty simple. Both UAE & Qatar markets have govt owned airlines which are invariably driven by business that comes from 2 distinct streams :-
1) The growing number of expats travelling here on work/holiday AND
2) The huge business that these airlines get from the “corporate” sector who provide their employees paid-for annual tickets.
As long as these countries GDP & net arrivals keep growing, so will their airlines & their trillion dollar aircraft purchases.
Voila!!!!
