  • The History and Development of Aviation in the State of Kuwait
    The International Journal of Engineering and Science (IJES) || Volume || 6 || Issue || 4 || Pages || PP 14-20 || 2017 || ISSN (e): 2319 – 1813 ISSN (p): 2319 – 1805 The History and Development of Aviation in the State of Kuwait Fadala Hassan Alfadala Higher Institute of Telecommunication and Navigation State of Kuwait I. INTRODUCTION The aviation industry today is a growing industry but is faced with many challenges that entail “rough decisions, forcing them to ground planes, pare fleets, consolidate routes, and cut staff” (“2011 Global Aerospace Outlook,” 2011). As a result, airline companies try to survive by having leaner organizations that aspire for efficiency; they aim for competitiveness and yet work on reducing costs in all possible ways. They are bombarded with issues such as increasing or fluctuating fuel prices which affect their profit margins; there are also companies that approach challenges with a “wait and see” attitude as they await what will happen and how they will perform as situations happen; but there also those that are confronted by emerging developments that challenge them to increase their fleets, number of routes and seat capacities; they are also pressed with the need to find other lucrative businesses to augment future profitability like charging fees for checked bags, food or in-flight entertainment; they may also offer operating leases as fleet financing opportunity for many airlines. Being part of the aviation industry also requires aviation companies to keep abreast of what is new in the global aviation market. Although it is a promising market having steady growth and development, there is a growing need to continually upgrade or innovate to make the industry lucrative in a global scale.

Kristian Coates Ulrichsen, Ph.D. “Gulf Airlines and the Changing Map of Global Aviation” Gulf Airlines and the Changing Map of Global Aviation Introduction This report provides an empirical case study of one of the areas in which the Gulf States have been the most visible and dynamic generators of global change: the aviation sector. • The startling rise of Emirates, Etihad, and Qatar Airways has reshaped global aviation markets around the three hubs of Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha as the Gulf airlines have developed into what the Economist magazine has labelled “global super-connectors” capable of connecting any two points in the world with one stopover in the Gulf.1 • This culminated in the January 2015 announcement that Dubai International Airport had overtaken London’s Heathrow Airport to become the world’s busiest airport for international passengers. Significantly, the 6 percent annual rise in Dubai’s international passengers (to almost 70 million in 2014) contrasted with the far smaller rate of increase caused by Heathrow operating at near-peak capacity owing to space and regulatory constraints.
