Two new airlines
The following is from the Aviation Business website:
The region’s latest start-up passenger carrier, Jazeera Airways is set to begin operations next month. The Kuwaiti airline is only the second low cost carrier (LCC) in the Gulf, after Air Arabia, and also the first 100% privately-owned airline to launch scheduled passenger services in the entire region.
Jazeera Airways will begin operations with two Airbus A320-200s, which will be wet leased from a European operator for up to a year. Towards the end of 2005, however, the airline will receive two brand new aircraft from Airbus, which will be followed by a second pair in mid-2006. The airline has also agreed options for four more A320s.

Elite Jets has become the latest private jet operator to be set up in the region. The Dubai based company will operate a charter fleet of three aircraft initially, as well as offering sales and aircraft management services.
Based in Dubai Airport Freezone, Elite Jets is launching its services with a Beechjet 400A and a Hawker 1000, with a Falcon 900B due to arrive by the end of the month.
