Well, Jazeera Airways said  that it will open booking services and will start operating on Oct 30, to five main Arab cities — Dubai, Beirut, Damascus, Amman, and Bahrain.

It has launched a large-scale advertising campaign in Kuwait and Middle East under the slogan ‘Wings of Freedom.’ The airliner will add Egypt, India, and Southeast Asia to its destinations soon.
Starting Oct 30, Jazeera Airways will operate a fleet of new single type A320 Airbus aircrafts, which will enable Jazeera Airways to offer below-market fares throughout the year.

During the flights, passengers will be free to choose whether to eat or not and can purchase their food on board, an approach that adds to their freedom of choice.

I'm assuming Emirate Airlines is the main airline in the area?

Yes. Emirate Airlines is the main. This new one could create a lot of competition though.

More Airline News in Dubai.


Dubai-based Emirates Airlines is targeting to increase its Kuala Lumpur-Dubai flights to twice daily by 2009 from eight flights a week now.

Flights to KL would increase from eight flights a week to nine flights a week next year and we see steady growth in Malaysia. The natural progression is that there would be two flights a day in 2009.

Also,
Emirates will be introducing a new route, Dubai-Beijing, next year, which would have a frequency of seven flights a week.

Amerates biggest market, in terms of yields, was Dubai-UK with 13 flights a day. In terms of volume, Australia was the largest with 42 flights a day.
