At a time when Middle East air travel is growing at double the global average, the need for new airports – and especially low-cost, or secondary, airports – has never been greater, according to the Chief Executive Officer of Air Arabia, the first and largest low-cost carrier (LCC) in the Middle East and North Africa.
Pointing to the successful development of Sharjah Airport, the carrier’s primary hub, Adel Ali recently told an audience of high-level industry decision-makers that the region must invest in the development of secondary airports that will support increased activity in the LCC sector, which has expanded rapidly following the launch of Air Arabia in October 2003. Ali made these comments as part of a panel discussion on the regional outlook for low-cost terminals during the Future Airports Conference, which was held in Dubai from June 2-4, 2008.
