Early on a Sunday morning at Dubai International Airport, well-dressed businessmen are forming an orderly queue at a check-in desk.
They are not the frequent fliers of Emirates or Qatar Airways, but Flydubai, the emirate’s fast-growing budget airline.
Quietly, and with little fanfare, Flydubai is sneaking up behind its more expensive rivals, targeting short-haul business commuter routes between Dubai and cities such as Doha and Kuwait City. In a period of austerity, it is hard to argue why businesses should pay double the price for a one-hour flight.
