RAK Airport targets low cost hub strategy | GulfNews.com:



"RAK Airport can be transformed into a key regional hub for low cost carriers in the coming years, its top executive has said.



Mohammad Qazi, Acting Chief Executive Officer, said in an interview he wants to see the airport catering to the smaller and medium size airlines and other similar sized industry groups.



“We are very ideally designed for low cost operation … we have structured towards that kind of operation,” he said.



The aviation industry in the United Arab Emirates is currently dominated by huge international players Emirates and Etihad that operate out of their respective hubs in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The emergence of flydubai and Air Arabia has also contributed to significant growth of the country’s region. The later has helped develop Sharjah International Airport as a reputable alternative to Dubai International. But Ras Al Khaimah’s fledging industry is yet to see the same heights."
