style=&quot;font-size:0;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since taking its initial delivery of first Boeing 737-800 on May 18, 2009 Dubai first low cost carrier Fly Dubai has experienced a smooth entry into the low cost travel market. Operating out of the state of the art Terminal 2 at Dubai’s International Airport and flying to destinations within four and a half hours from Dubai the carrier is looking to capitalize on an underserved market by low cost airlines and the huge growth potential of the Middle East, especially Dubai as a Mecca for visitors to the Arabian Oasis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8 months since its first delivery Fly Dubai has added 12 destinations to its portfolio flying 6 state of the art Boeing 737-800 series aircraft in 189 seat all economy configuration. With Fly Dubai looking to emulate the success of Southwest Airlines in the United States, it has sure positioned itself in the right place to build on an underserved low cost travel market. With the Middle East rising in prominence, people choosing to travel more, visa restriction slowly being lifted and open skies agreements created it future of the Middle Eastern market will add another dimension to its landscape with Fly Dubai right in the thick of things.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question may loom as to how will other legacy carriers react to Fly Dubai, will neighboring Qatar airways create a low cost spin off which they have hinted at the possibility?, what about Etihad Airways the new Abu Dhabi carrier? And what impact will Air Arabia in neighboring Sharjah cause an impact on the rise of Fly Dubai? Questions to be answered and time to deliver the verdicts, but for now Fly Dubai looks to write a new chapter in low cost flying in the Middle East.</description><link>http://airlineinsight.blogspot.com/2010/01/future-with-fly-dubai.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Danilo)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia1eweA9u0SVAwSEx4Q5cg1c7xfRxOJuRqTQ_rFAhiWQ93zasUDgRfGBa6GkIv3wJG0ZqjjvqmuoaLPooEILiJfCP-sH_rl61mDTGr2hS2hZZ6KCkKPGq78SZ08RtcnEwHvosYmcqnpHM/s72-c/FlyDubaiBlogPhoto01.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2612492219941433789.post-1398975378452201871</guid><pubDate>Thu, 11 Jun 2009 15:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-11T08:41:52.296-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Adelaide</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Airbus</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">airlines</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Australia</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Melbourne</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Sydney</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Tiger Airways</category><title>Tiger Airways calls Adelaide home</title><description>&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM3abpm1Vd8_TD0p8yQO_-6Z7eS3Y9ya4_cSa4N742DUBdoiH9Ol3Ys9gdh7GW_h2ulrR8-NC79HvpEwiE6PUrst0iTbA95ErDCSU7NfmawPaogYi7I0B3YO-8-x1YYu7gzfOGZ2BZXnE/s1600-h/Tiger_Airways_002.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5346093749279635634&quot; style=&quot;WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 315px&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiM3abpm1Vd8_TD0p8yQO_-6Z7eS3Y9ya4_cSa4N742DUBdoiH9Ol3Ys9gdh7GW_h2ulrR8-NC79HvpEwiE6PUrst0iTbA95ErDCSU7NfmawPaogYi7I0B3YO-8-x1YYu7gzfOGZ2BZXnE/s320/Tiger_Airways_002.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;Image Courtesy of Andrea Silvia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Tiger Airways launches its second Australian base in Adelaide to further its expansion in Australia. Opening the new Tiger Airways second hub at Adelaide International Airport offers the state of South Australia an increase in visitors to the state as well as the creation of new jobs. Tiger Airways considered a secondary hub after it achieved a 91% load factor in its primary hub at Melbourne International Airport. The airline has based two Airbus A320 aircraft in Adelaide as well as 60 South Australian based pilots and crew to help with the rapid start to new operations. Tiger Airways has plans to add new low cost services to Perth, Hobart, the Gold Coast, Alice Springs and Canberra as well as increasing the number of flights between Victoria and South Australia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;The South Australian Tourism Minister commented that the additional flights would bring about 10 million more visitors over the next eight years to South Australia as well as create new jobs and support the local economy. It all bodes well for the future of Adelaide and the state of South Australia with this new Tiger Airways expansion into its new Adelaide hub.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Passengers will now be able to enjoy greater connectivity and more options to all of their favorite Australian cities.

With June 1 fast approaching when Fly Dubai will operate its inaugural service to Beirut the arrival of its first Boeing 737-800 next generation aircraft is a major step for Dubai’s very own low cost airline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The selected group of guests got a first glimpse of the carrier’s vibrant and refreshing livery. His Highness Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai, Chairman of Fly Dubai and vice president of the United Arab Emirates personally selected the livery to capture the essence of Dubai with the bright colors of blue and orange. These vibrant colors were selected to show the colors of Dubai’s coastline where the orange reflects the sun, sand and warmth of the people while the blue epitomizes the endless blue skies and the majestic blue seas that Dubai is known for all over the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This 737 next generation aircraft is the first of 50 to be delivered to Fly Dubai by 2016. The airline placed an historic order at the Farnborough Air Show last year worth about $3.74 billion dollars at the current list prices making Fly Dubai operators of one of the youngest and most efficient aircraft fleets in the world ultimately giving its passengers more options at the lowest prices flying to destinations in high demand across the gulf region and surrounding countries while bringing unrivaled connectivity to all parts of the world from its Dubai base.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fly Dubai has already announced it will fly to four destinations of Beirut, Amman, Alexandria and Damascus. With more routes to be announced in the near future Fly Dubai is bringing passengers a new way to fly at the lowest prices.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Welcome Fly Dubai&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#cc0000;&quot;&gt;Talking Point:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With its highly anticipated entry to the market will Fly Dubai gain a large portion of market share from the word go?

These violent storms can produce heavy turbulence pounding an aircraft with extremely high winds and hail. Structural damage can result out of these storms causing pilots serious problems if they cannot maneuver around them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;It is without doubt that the plane is no longer flying in the sky considering the amount of fuel it carried on board and the amount of time that has elapsed since it has been deemed missing. At this time, it can be provisionally concluded that something catastrophic happened aboard AF 447 that caused this aircraft to fall from the sky. With no mayday call or distress signal from the flight deck it points in the direction that the pilot didn’t have enough time due to the plane descending at an alarmingly rapid rate. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Air France fears the worst and Fren&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;ch President Nicolas Sarkozy said that the chances of finding survivors are “little”. Search and rescue attempts are underway however searching in the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago is considered very difficult due to the vast size of the area where the plane could have possibly went down after it left Brazilian radar.

The C Series fleet will be tailored to permit utilization for short-haul and transcontinental routes as well as adding simplicity, with the CS family of aircraft sharing commonality allowing the same crew type rating, operating and maintenance procedures. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The C Series aircraft family will be comprised of the 110 seat CS 100 and 130 seat CS 300 series aircraft bringing the latest in technology, unrivaled passenger comfort and performance as well as increased efficiency giving Swiss a great base to strengthen their business opportunities, route expansion and future viability and growth. The C Series will also give Swiss International Airlines an environmentally sustainable product with the aircraft setting benchmarks with reduced emissions, noise and fuel burn.

Niki has plans to integrate the Embraer ERJ 190 into their fleet this upcoming summer season with deliveries of the type to be realized in the first half of this year. Niki has five firm orders and five purchase rights for the ERJ 190 series aircraft. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since 2004 when Air Berlin purchased a 24% share in Niki, the airline has been expanding cautiously as opposed to other low cost operations however this summer the all new Niki Embraer fleet will join the Airbus Fleet enabling the Austrian low cost airline to increase its market coverage and business opportunities. Niki Airline is expecting delivery of a further 8 Airbus A 320 aircraft from 2009 through 2015 further strengthening its fleet. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Niki has plans of combining the new 112 seat ERJ 190 for medium density routes as well as adding frequency to existing routes. The larger 150-210 seat Airbus aircraft will be integrated to high density routes. Niki Lauda, founder and President said “the ERJ 190 is the most economical and environmentally friendly airplane of its size”. This Airbus, Embraer aircraft combination sought by Niki is to provide a greater more versatile product in the market, increase their coverage and opportunities. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;The Embraer E-Jet aircraft type is ideal for the establishment of new routes due to its start up costs being low while combining excellent economics and offering a high level of comfort something Niki passenger’s have come to expect and enjoy on every Niki Flight. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;The E-Jet Aircraft family has proven to aid airlines in developing new markets at a lower operating cost as well as offering the ability to combat flying inefficient larger aircraft on low load factor routes making them more viable through utilizing the Embraer E-Jets. Nikki has taken this approach and entrusted the ERJ 190 to lead its way with performance, efficiency, comfort and versatility on its already existing European network and into the future on new Intra-European routes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff0000;&quot;&gt;Some Questions to consider:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Will Niki achieve greater economies of scale with this new aircraft type? Will passengers enjoy more options, destinations and choices at the lowest prices aboard Niki airline? Which new destinations will Niki seek as it expands its operations? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Check out the Niki Airline website at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flyniki.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff0000;&quot;&gt;www.flyniki.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

As Lufthansa looks to future growth and viability it has extended its paperless travel service to encompass more cities it serves around the world. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Lufthansa’s mobile boarding pass service is available on almost all long haul flights departing from Germany. It was recently implemented on Lufthansa’s Frankfurt-Vancouver route and with 85,000 passengers a month using the service the way was paved for Lufthansa to extend the mobile boarding pass program offering passengers greater options to more destinations, more convenience, flexibility and efficiency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;The new mobile boarding pass service does away with the need for paper documents by virtue of passengers getting their boarding pass sent directly to their internet enabled cell phone or mobile device. The new paperless boarding pass contains a 2D barcode in addition to relevant flight data such as passenger’s name, flight number and time of departure. This information enables each passenger to pass through security checkpoints, proceed directly to the particular flights departure gate and board the aircraft upon the 2D barcode being read by a scanner. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Passengers can check in online via the internet or request an electronic boarding pass from their cell phones via the Lufthansa.com portal. Further options that Lufthansa offers with this service is the ability for passengers who are travelling together to check in independently and request to be seated next to each other. Furthermore passengers will be able to change seating options with this new innovative service.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Lufthansa has continued to take steps to expand the program considering its success with this service. It is not only available for long haul flights originating from Germany but from all Lufthansa destinations in Canada and more than thirty airports in Europe. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Welcome to a world of paperless travel.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;var addthis_pub=&quot;4a1d01917447ab0a&quot;;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onmouseover=&quot;return addthis_open(this, &#39;&#39;, &#39;[URL]&#39;, &#39;[TITLE]&#39;)&quot; onclick=&quot;return addthis_sendto()&quot; onmouseout=&quot;addthis_close()&quot; href=&quot;http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=20&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px&quot; height=&quot;16&quot; alt=&quot;Bookmark and Share&quot; src=&quot;http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/lg-share-en.gif&quot; width=&quot;125&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script src=&quot;http://s7.addthis.com/js/200/addthis_widget.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button END --&gt;</description><link>http://airlineinsight.blogspot.com/2009/05/image-courtesy-of-eurowings-lufthansa.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Danilo)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk6lcinIx1pckBNEwh4do0PVFGGbv_yvC1C0SNDS0DuUxAn5iaGH51E8NFEcwVmCobhTLnFxihb7CJhA6sHtJvnIRWL1sPLlMNrqWryGbdCZFLsbWjWh1bvRzveKfMjfp1xr-7ALfHsb0/s72-c/lufthansa_001_eurowings.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2612492219941433789.post-6062737894658224825</guid><pubDate>Fri, 22 May 2009 22:27:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-22T15:43:53.472-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Australia</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Jetstar Asia</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Qantas Airways</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Silk Air</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Singapore</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Singapore Changi International Airport</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Tiger Airways</category><title>Qantas and Jetstar Asia offer Seamless Travel</title><description>&lt;div align=&quot;center&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPobVyERbFsaq6-vz3XC5azZy3FqHGzJSp9CEXr2imilgdOanso9P18AXNYYbPEHrg2rikbx3rsVIDH59boGnS0lepNpYCu4OjFfX8ElPZnB6SY47pSy6sSKUMp4IcIBG81oauL7JA2Mg/s1600-h/Qantas_Jetstar_Combined_001.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5338779761394502050&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 267px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPobVyERbFsaq6-vz3XC5azZy3FqHGzJSp9CEXr2imilgdOanso9P18AXNYYbPEHrg2rikbx3rsVIDH59boGnS0lepNpYCu4OjFfX8ElPZnB6SY47pSy6sSKUMp4IcIBG81oauL7JA2Mg/s320/Qantas_Jetstar_Combined_001.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;Image Courtesy of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stuff.co.nz/archived-stuff-sections/archived-business-sections/business/1753330&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff9966;&quot;&gt;stuff.co.nz&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.qantas.com.au/regions/dyn/home/qualifier-country-au&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff0000;&quot;&gt;Qantas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jetstar.com/gx/en/index.aspx&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff9900;&quot;&gt;Jetstar Asia &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;have signed an interline agreement to offer seamless ticketing to Jetstar Asia’s Asian destinations come August 1, 2009. This step is a significant move to strengthen Jetstar Asia’s presence at its Singapore hub, increasing Jetstar Asia’s global profile, offering passengers more options and easy travelling along the Qantas and Jetstar network. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This move comes just over a month after the revamp of the Jetstar Asia ownership structure by where Qantas owns a 49% stake in the carrier while the other 51% belongs to Mr. Dennis Choo Teck Wang, the billionaire Singapore Travel entrepreneur and long time ally of Qantas in the Asia-Pacific region. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This new interline agreement to strengthen Jetstar Asia’s presence in the market stands to bear fruit for Qantas by virtue of tapping into the connecting traffic from Jetstar Asia’s flights bringing with it an increase in feeder traffic to Qantas designated flights to and from Singapore, the vibrant southeast Asian city which draws in millions of travelers each and every year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jetstar Asia stands to receive greater visibility on the global booking system due to this ability to interline. They will receive greater visibility with travel agents and allow Qantas and Jetstar Asia customers the option to purchase itineraries with greater ease and flexibility combining multiple destinations with the two carriers across a wide network in the Asia-Pacific region. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jetstar Asia is one of the first low cost carriers to embark on an interline agreement. Generally low cost airlines have not embarked on interlining like full service airlines have as it adds complexity to operations but with Jetstar Asia being a part of the Qantas group and sister airline to Jetstar Australia interlining is more mainstream ultimately benefitting passengers without the increase in fares, an integral part to Jetstar Asia’s success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#ff9966;&quot;&gt;Talking Point:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;What do you feel will be &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.singaporeair.com/saa/index.jsp&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000099;&quot;&gt;Singapore Airlines&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#000099;&quot;&gt;

This new deal gives Qantas a new boost after the Australian flag carrier had to cut 1750 jobs and defer some of their aircraft orders due to the economic down turn. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;It gives both Qantas and Jetstar an expanding customer base out of the Middle Eastern super hub and an opportunity to build business in a time where new super airlines are emerging and maybe the only ones with deep enough pockets to re-invest the tens of billions of dollars required on replacing and refurbishing ageing aircraft fleets and continually expanding their operations and interests globally.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Qantas is taking proactive steps to ensure it stays at the pinnacle of the airline world and re align itself for future viability and sustainability. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Which path will Qantas choose for its future viability and growth? only time can foster this answer but this new Qantas and Etihad partnership is a step to ensure the flying kangaroo is flying the world skies well into the future, setting a standard and changing the way we fly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://airlineinsight.blogspot.com/2009/05/images-courtesy-of-aero-channel-qantas.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Danilo)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5e3rKjFtiUJreqBH010K-FGnVu_xQmvim9qbafoj01iKafGr4yxw4Bj-yuY2yr7dEa41BrTsR-0xvpVAvaCH4IOADeWtWP-SWiiVTEy3iFT20mss9Fzjq53x2Wv5a2YCY94YYOdniUuE/s72-c/etihad_logo_001.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2612492219941433789.post-3114000627991244340</guid><pubDate>Sun, 17 May 2009 09:13:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-05-19T13:15:04.535-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Alexandria</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">boeing 737</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Damascus</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Dubai</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Egypt</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Fly Dubai</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Syria</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">United Arab Emirates</category><title>Fly Dubai adds new exciting destinations</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh33abtOmOW8Xn7ikc1UwOgMu5fiwOjGMK2SoxagMkSxRaCsqubasGPFXYIhT3d71o98tuT7VfFQZUZ-UFgWRTtpbIG-2UUBRNaa_6rDbwN7BG0VgV6xLyhf7cfzU2UibIMg3KsTcI7YgM/s1600-h/FlyDubai737_animated_002.bmp&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5336718771287442082&quot; style=&quot;DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 256px; TEXT-ALIGN: center&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh33abtOmOW8Xn7ikc1UwOgMu5fiwOjGMK2SoxagMkSxRaCsqubasGPFXYIhT3d71o98tuT7VfFQZUZ-UFgWRTtpbIG-2UUBRNaa_6rDbwN7BG0VgV6xLyhf7cfzU2UibIMg3KsTcI7YgM/s320/FlyDubai737_animated_002.bmp&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flydubai.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#3366ff;&quot;&gt;Fly Dubai&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, Dubai’s first low cost airline opens two new routes to Damascus, Syria beginning June 8 followed by the inaugural service to Alexandria, Egypt’s Mediterranean gateway starting June 9, 2009.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;The two new routes compliment Fly Dubai’s first two air services to Beirut and Amman giving travelers options to four destinations encompassing four countries within the first ten days of service for Dubai’s first low cost airline.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;With more destinations to be unveiled during Fly Dubai’s forecasted rapid expansion and in line with its focus of “connecting people” across the Middle East, GCC, India, Africa and Eastern Europe travelers stand to benefit with this new Arabian star lighting up the skies. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Travelers can fly for as low as 250 Dirhams (AED) one way to Amman and Beirut which translates to $68 USD each way while Damascus and Alexandria services will be offered for 300 AED and 350 AED one way translating to $81 USD and $95 USD respectively. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial;&quot;&gt;Book your next Fly Dubai flight at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flydubai.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#3366ff;&quot;&gt;www.flydubai.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:85%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;Please Note:&lt;br /&gt;AED: United Arab Emirates Dirhams, USD: United States Dollar, GCC: Gulf Cooperation Council&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;font-size:78%;&quot;&gt;Disclaimer&lt;br /&gt;The displayed Fly Dubai ticket prices on Airline Insight are Fly Dubai published prices as of 05/17/09.

FDA will initially offer a daily flight to Kagoshima and Kumamoto as well as two daily flights to Komatsu from its Shizuoka base allowing passengers to travel in style in the new and very efficient 76 seat Embraer E-jets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Backed by the Suzuyo Group who has more orders on the horizon with the Brazilian manufacturer Embraer for E 170 and E 190 series aircraft is committed to FDA’s long term future and contributing to Shizuoka’s economic development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Fuji Dream Airlines has a bright future and clear skies ahead in becoming a major player in Japan’s domestic airline market. The lucrative opportunity has presented itself for FDA due to Japan Airlines (JAL) and All Nippon Airways (ANA) reducing the number of their local air services on intra Japanese routes to concentrate on their more profitable high density domestic and international routes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Can Fuji Dream Airlines capitalize on this void? Will passengers get the lowest possible prices? Will FDA come through for the local economies and foster economic development at the local level?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;FDA’s Competition may come from a variety of smaller subsidiaries owned by the two major Japanese airlines in JAL and ANA but Fuji Dream Airlines has the opportunity to be a mover and shaker on the regional level connecting regional destinations with the super efficient Embraer &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;E-jets, the same destinations that were originally considered unviable and unattractive for Japans larger operators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;With a unique product offering at the lowest possible price Fuji Dream Airlines has the opportunity to become a key market player giving travelers something they have yearned for: Options, flexibility, connectivity at the lowest possible prices. Will Fuji Dream Airlines open the gate for a new wave of low cost carriers in Japan’s skies?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;Welcome Fuji Dream Airlines!
