    BCD Travel Research and Intelligence What you need to know: Airline operations: Middle East April 28, 2020 As demand declines and governments around the world restrict travel, airlines are adjusting their operations, and, in some cases, suspending all services. This report summarizes what airlines in the Middle East are doing and planning. Major carriers Airline Action and plans Emirates Most passenger operations suspended from March 25. Flights continue to London and Frankfurt, with repatriation services offered to other destinations Etihad Airways All flights suspended from March 26 until May 1. Repatriation flights operated to 11 destinations. Reduced schedule to resume from May 1 until June 30 Qatar Airways Most flights continue, serving passengers transiting through Doha Turkish Airlines All international and some domestic routes suspended until May 1 Emirates resuming some flights after suspending most passenger operations Emirates suspended most passenger operations from March 25, with no date for their resumption.1 It had been trying to maintain these flights as long as possible, to help travelers return home. But increasing travel restrictions – including the March 19 suspension of all entry visas to the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) – forced it to curtail its operations substantially. Emirates will continue to operate a small number of passenger flights to a limited number of countries, as long as their borders stay open and demand remains. The airline will resume suspended services once countries reopen their borders and travel confidence returns. Emirates is already looking forward to a gradual resumption of passenger services as travel and operational restrictions are lifted. It received approval to resume services to Brussels, Frankfurt, London, Paris and Zurich from April 6.2 It currently offers four flights per week to Heathrow and three to Frankfurt.

  • US-UAE Commercial Aviation Update
    U.S.-U.A.E. Commercial Aviation Update: Flying Higher June 2014 The U.S. and U.A.E. continue to share the world’s fastest growing bilateral commercial aviation relationship over the last decade. In fact, the commercial landscape underpinning United States-United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) commercial aviation ties has undergone immense, rapid, and significant development in the year since we published the ‘U.S.-U.A.E. Commercial Aviation: Taking Flight’ report. In 2013 alone, commercial aviation-related exports were the largest subset of products that fueled a banner year in U.S.-U.A.E. trade totaling $26.9 billion. The U.A.E.’s global carriers — Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Airways and Dubai’s Emirates Airline — have opened new routes to the United States and record-breaking long-term aircraft, engine, and parts deals between American firms and Emirati carriers were signed to complement ambitious delivery schedules already put in place by both airlines. Amidst this activity, the U.A.E. has made greater strides toward its goal of integrating into the global commercial aviation supply chain. Route Launches Emirates Route Map (incl. Chicago) Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Airways now flies to three cities in the United States (Chicago, New York, Washington, D.C.) with plans to launch flights to its fourth U.S. destination, Los Angeles, in June 2014, and its fifth U.S. destination, Dallas, in December 2014. Dubai’s Emirates flies to eight U.S. cities currently, including its newest destination, Boston, as well as Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C.

  • A Study Into the Hub Performance of Emirates, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways and Their Competitive Position Against the Major European Hubbing Airlines
    A study into the hub performance of Emirates, Etihad Airways and Qatar Airways and their competitive position against the major European hubbing airlines 1.0 Introduction Traffic flows between East and West had traditionally been concentrated at European hubs. Travellers flying Eastbound and Westbound used to connect in airports such as London Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Frankfurt or Amsterdam (Dennis, 2007; Bel and Fageda, 2010; Grimme, 2011; Hooper et al., 2011). However, the growth of the Middle East aviation business has led to the rise of new hubs in the region. The Gulf has invested heavily in the aviation business as it is regarded as an important asset for the development of the region, Gulf based airlines are challenging the European network carriers in their long-haul traffic segment. Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways, as the most important exponents of the rise of the Gulf, have engineered their bases to become important transfer points for passengers which are beginning to redirect and reshape the traditional traffic flows (O'Connell, 2006; Vespermann et al., 2008; Hooper et al., 2011, Murel and O'Connell, 2011; O'Connell, 2011). The aggressive rise of the Gulf carriers is putting the leadership of the European network carriers and their corresponding hubs under threat (Delfmann et al., 2005). The centre of gravity of international transfer traffic is shifting towards the East, while this displacement is being driven by the Gulf carriers as a result of their effective hub-and-spoke mechanism which is one of the key foundation pillars underpinning their continued success (O'Connell, 2011; Hooper et al., 2011, Murel and O'Connell, 2011).

  • COVID-19 Airline Mask Policy Middle East
    BCD Travel Research and Intelligence What you need to know: COVID-19: Airline mask policy: Middle East August 17, 2020 As part of their efforts to keep travelers and employees safe, almost all airlines around the world now require passengers to wear a face covering of some sort for the duration of a trip. However, there can be some differences between airlines. This report details what airlines in the Middle East currently require. Major carriers Airline Seating adjustment Emirates Masks must be worn from check-in, and gloves are recommended too. Masks must be kept on at all times during boarding and on board the aircraft. Depending on regulations at the destination, passengers may also be required to wear gloves or other personal protective equipment (PPE). Etihad Airways All passengers, including children aged 6 years or older, must wear a face mask at the airport and for the duration of the flight. While passengers are advised to bring enough masks for their trip, the airline provides a spare in the Wellness Kit given to all travelers. It also carries limited spare masks on board aircraft. Qatar Airways1 All passengers must wear a face covering at all times, from boarding to disembarkation. To ensure passengers are comfortable, the airline recommends passengers bring their own masks. Qatar Airways also distributes transparent face shields at the airport, which all passengers must wear when boarding and disembarking.

  • Addressing Subsidized Competition from State-Owned Airlines in Qatar and the UAE
    Restoring Open Skies: Addressing Subsidized Competition from State-Owned Airlines in Qatar and the UAE January 2015 1 U.S. Open Skies Policy Is Predicated On a Level Playing Field • Since 1992, the United States has successfully 1 removed limitations on flights between the United States and over 100 foreign countries, leaving the market free to determine destinations, frequencies, routes and prices. This “Open Skies” policy has generally provided great benefits to U.S. consumers, airlines and the economy. • U.S. Open Skies policy is premised on the belief that Open Skies agreements enable U.S. airlines to compete in a marketplace free of government distortion, including subsidies. • U.S. carriers have proven that they can successfully compete against any carrier in the world when the playing field is level. • But in the case of the Gulf nations of Qatar and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the playing field is not level. 2 The Governments of Qatar and the UAE are pursuing aviation industrial policies that are fundamentally incompatible with Open Skies • Over the past decade, the governments of Qatar, Abu Dhabi and Dubai have granted over $40 billion in subsidies and other unfair benefits to their state- owned carriers in order to stimulate their economies by promoting the flow of international passenger traffic through their Gulf hubs. • State-owned Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways and Emirates Airline are now using this huge, artificial cost advantage to exploit the open access they have to the U.S. market. • The routes that these subsidized airlines operate to the United States have not meaningfully increased passenger traffic; they merely serve to displace the market share of U.S.
