The ME3, only QR and EK have serious projects in my view, specially QR with their money orders and capacity expansion at Doha airport but if people are scared of flying to ME or through it, now what?
low demand, high fuel costs, management goes after T&C’s, unhappy pilots leave, no jobs back home because let’s face, Europe and UK are over. UK for example has an inflation rate of 4% and the highest energy bills in the world. An ME wide war will make it extremely unattractive to live there and pay even more to survive on heavily taxed salaries. High crime, a number of post Brexit issues, crap weather etc. Every angle you look at this there’s poo, al over it.
I find it extremely concerning. Just an opinion.
