Soon to be announced by the UAE emirate of Fujairah is the launch of a new airline company later this week. This airline will start its operations early in 2012, The new airline would focus on regional services and act specifically as a feeder carrier for an unnamed existing airline in the Gulf region, chief executive Alex de Vos said. The carrier would not be a low-cost carrier, he noted, but would aim to provide as much of a full-service environment as its short-haul flights allowed. Earlier, the Fujairah airport hoped to lure low-cost airlines in a bid to tap into the UAE’s large migrant worker population and the Gulf’s budget domestic travellers. FIA currently caters for just 100,000 passengers a year. Fujairah is a strategic location and it is one of the last of the seven emirates to start growing. “Hence naturally it has a massive potential still unearthed in Fujaira, unlike Dubai which is nearing a saturatin point.

It will be a regional carrier, dedicated to connecting the GCC hubs Abu Dhabi, Bahrain, Dammam, Doha, Muscat, Riyadh, Kuwait, with a later expansion into the Levant states and the Indian subcontinent.
