Saudi Gazette - RAK Airways eyes 40 new destinations by 2015

"RAK Airways has announced its strategic plan towards commercial expansion and acquiring new aircraft. Murabit Al Sawaf, President and CEO of the airline, said that the expansion plan is part of the airline’s endeavors to achieve the target of 40 new destinations around the world by the year 2015, of which five destinations will be announced shortly. Addressing a press conference at Hilton Resort & Spa Hotel in Ras Al Khaimah recently, Al Sawaf said that the carrier has completed working out a plan to operate services to four more destinations.

Al Sawaf also unveiled plans to buy new aircraft. “RAK Airways is close to inking deals with some agencies to acquire new fleet of aircraft in order to meet the requirements for its future expansions. Accordingly, new aircraft will join the fleet before the end of this year,” he said, adding that the airline is now operating its services by using two leased aircraft.

He also noted that there would be a focus on operating services to those destinations that would help in promoting the tourism sector of Ras Al Khaimah, in particular, and the United Arab Emirates, in general."
