FAI - World Air Sports Federation’s Post

Qatar has a dedicated First lounge in Doha and a few aircraft with a First cabin, so it makes sense that they will address the issue sooner rather than later. The measure of international First has been a private flat bed "suite," with some sort of concierge and extensive catering, but the suite is now firmly in Business territory. I'd love to see the customer data and be a fly on the wall during discussions around this product and how they decide to differentiate it from their Q Suite business class - is it about radically more space? More personalization? Even more privacy, or something more social? Augmented services on the ground? Or something else? Will be interesting to see what they come up with and whether others follow. #productinnovation #travel #airlines #research #customerexperience #customerinsights #humancentereddesign

KSA is the Future Aviation stage with Aircraft Orders as well as shaping the future.

Collectively, the ten largest airlines in the Middle East have a combined order book of 795 aircraft to be delivered by the end of 2029, making it one of the largest order books in existence. This will lead to around 107 million additional seats in the market by 2029, with approximately 16 million coming from Saudi Arabia-based carriers. The increased competition, along with new capacity from other airlines, will add complexity to market conditions, impacting Riyadh Air, Saudia, and the Vision 2030 ambition. How will Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, aiming for 300 million passengers by 2030, navigate this challenge?

Collectively, the ten largest airlines in the Middle East already have a combined order book of 795 aircraft to be delivered by the end of 2029 (see chart attached); on a regional market basis it is one of the largest order books in existence. These new aircraft should lead to around 107 million additional seats in the market by 2029, and although around 16 million of these will be supplied by Saudi Arabia-based carriers, this degree of competition from competing airlines (with their own new capacity) will add a further degree of complexity to the market conditions, not just for Riyadh Air and Saudia, but for the ambition of Vision 2030. How will Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 - a target of 300 million passengers by 2030 - balance ambition with reality? Find out in the final part of our three-part series focusing on the Middle East aviation market. https://hubs.li/Q02FNCN70 #MiddleEast #MiddleEastTourism #Aviation
