Doha becomes Middle East’s busiest

In the battle to be the pre-eminent travel hub in the Middle East, the latest research from ForwardKeys has revealed that Doha seized and consolidated a lead over Dubai in the first half of 2021. In the period January 1 -June 30, the volume of air tickets issued for travel via Doha was 18% higher than it was through Dubai; and that relationship looks set to continue. Current bookings for the second half of the year through Doha are 17% higher than through Dubai. At the start of the year, air traffic through Doha was at 77% of Dubai; but it quickly reached 100% for the first time during the week commencing January 27. The major factor driving the trend was the lifting, of the blockade of flights to and from Qatar this January, which was imposed in June 2017 by Bahrain, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, who accused Qatar of sponsoring terrorism - an accusation it strongly denies. Since January, five routes were restored by Qatar Airways in the region and new routes launched further afield. Olivier Ponti, Vice President of insights at ForwardKeys, said, “Without the blockade, which encouraged the establishment of new routes as a strategy to replace lost traffic, perhaps we would not have seen Doha charging past Dubai. So, it seems that the seeds of Doha’s relative success were, ironically, sown by the adverse actions of its neighbours. However, one needs to bear in mind that flights through the Middle East during first half of 2021 were still 81 per cent below pre-pandemic levels. So, as the recovery gathers pace, the picture could change significantly”. The last major factor, which has given Qatar an edge over Dubai, has been its reaction to the pandemic. During the height of the Covid-19 crisis, many routes in and out of Doha remained operational, with the result that Doha became a major hub for repatriation flights - most notably to Johannesburg and Montreal.

NEWS FLASH

Adria Airways will end its line maintenance agreement with Adria Airways Tehnika as of August 31 and will contract another provider from September. The Slovenian carrier has said it cannot reveal any details at this point, as it is a business secret, however, Slovenian media speculate that Adria's maintenance will be carried out by a Scandinavian company. The Ljubljana-based Adria Airways Tehnika, once an integral part of Adria Airways, is now independently owned and operated by Poland's Linetech Holding. It is a Bombardier Authorised Service Facility and provides maintenance services to several European carriers. It is believed the two companies could not reach an agreement over pricing.

Since Adria is in so much debt and close to bankruptcy I doubt anyone would service their aircraft in exchange for IOUs, just cash upfront. Which Adria does not have
