VERY LATE BREAKING (and surprising) NEWS from the ROUTES airlines/airports conference in Dubai Sunday afternoon is that Pakistan’s second airline Shaheen Air is to introduce a four times weekly service from Robin Hood Doncaster Airport to Dubai “later this year”. The airline will use a two-class Boeing 767 for the operation, and also plans to continue the flight on to Toronto in 2007. Mohammed Jalil, operations director, Shaheen Air, explained that the airline, established in 1991, is profitable and has now only a small government holding. It currently flies to five domestic and six international destinations in The Gulf and carried 0.5m passengers in 2005. Neil Pakey, CEO of Doncaster owner Peel Airports, said that the £120m project has been a great success with 840,000 passengers in the first year.
Seems that DSA is to be taken seriously after all.
