Region’s low-cost carriers make headway | GulfNews.com:
"A lack of secondary airports in the Gulf presents a challenge for low-cost carriers, according to the Alpen Capital report. It states that budget carriers are being forced to operate out of the main airports, which places them in direct competition with a number of flagship full-service carriers.
Sharjah’s Air Arabia is currently the only full-scale low-cost carrier in the region. Others such as flydubai, Saudi Arabia’s flynas and Kuwait’s Jazeera Airways operate hybrid models that may feature business-class, meals and luggage.
However, most of them have been able to turn a profit under the current operating conditions. This begs the question as to how important it is for secondary airports to be developed in the region."
