The Middle East is the world’s leading growth market for both air traffic and cruise passengers. Driven by economic growth, expatriate workers and a young and wealthy population, these well positioned hubs are enabling Middle East carriers to continue to improve their share of long-haul markets.

According to a recent report by the International Air Transport Association, regional airlines recorded a 14.5% year-on-year increase in RPK (revenue passenger kilometres) in January 2012, the highest growth of any region. And further growth is expected with Airbus predicting that Middle East airlines will be buying 1,000 new aircraft between now and 2023.
