BBC News - Middle Eastern airlines feel pain of political unrest

Gulf airlines have built an enviable reputation in recent years. The "big three" - Qatar Airways, Abu Dhabi's Etihad and Dubai-based Emirates - have grown rapidly, eroding market share from other, more established airlines.

But this has led to some jealousy from the European airline industry, which has accused some Gulf carriers of competing unfairly.

The region's airlines have hit back, saying European carriers need to stand up to competition because those in the Gulf are not going to go away any time soon.
