flydubai launched flights last week to its western-most destination with the introduction of four-times weekly flights from Dubai (DXB) to Belgrade (BEG) in Serbia using a 737-800. Flights from Dubai depart at 09:10 in the morning and are scheduled to take five hours and 45 minutes while flights from Belgrade depart at 12:40 and are scheduled to last just over five hours. The airline is now serving 44 destinations non-stop from Dubai. In the first 10 months of 2011 Belgrade Nikola Tesla Airport’s passenger numbers have grown impressively by 16% compared with 2010 and the airport is well on course to handle over three million passengers, despite on-going issues at its national carrier, JAT Airways. JAT recently axed its Dubai service (via Larnaca). Since the start of the summer season Belgrade has welcomed new services from Olympic Air (Athens), SkyWork (to Bern-Belp) and Wizz Air (to Brussels Charleroi, Eindhoven, Gothenburg City, Memmingen, and Stockholm Skavsta).

Qatar Airways, the second-biggest Arab carrier, plans to roll out up to 15 new routes over the next year in a bid to increase its share of the lucrative long-haul market.

“We are going to add three more new destinations within a few weeks into Iran so that we serve that very large market in a very strong way,” CEO Akbar Al Baker told Arabian Business.

“We are also planning to go to Perth, Belgrade, Kiev, Helsinki, St Petersburg and many other destinations within the next 12 months. Fifteen new destinations in the next 12 months.”

Qatar Airways is one of the world’s largest buyers of new aircraft, last week adding five Airbus A380 superjumbos and 50 A320neos to its order book in a $6.5bn deal with Airbus.



The carrier’s massive order book underpins its plan to serve more than 120 routes by 2013 with a 120-strong fleet, as it seeks to make Doha an international transit hub.



The airline continues to focus on “relentless expansion,” said Al Baker. “On average, every 18 days it is growing by one new aircraft,” he said.

Qatar Airways in October requested permission to ply domestic routes in Iran, a move that would have seen the Doha-based carrier become the first foreign airline to operate in the Persian state.

The carrier already services routes between Doha and the Iranian cities of Tehran, Shiraz and Mashhad, but Al Baker said he thought it was unlikely to receive permission to operate domestically.

“Every airline in this region would love to operate internally in Iran but we are not an Iranian carrier,” he said. “They have their own carriers, they are serving the market. We are a foreign operator, we cannot operate internally.

“There is an intention to [persuade] them to allow us, but I don’t think the domestic carriers will accept. As far as we are concerned we are only going to increase frequencies between Qatar and Iran, and add destinations.”

Despite the carrier’s petrodollar-backed spending spree, Qatar Airways has not been immune to rising fuel costs. Oil prices peaked in April this year above $127 a barrel as the civil war in Libya cut the country's oil exports.

Fuel typically accounts for about 40 percent of an airline’s costs and, alongside slowing global travel demand, has squeezed margins at some of the world’s largest carriers.

Emirates airline, the world’s largest airline, said an additional $1bn in fuel costs had contributed to a 76 percent slump in half-year profit to AED827m ($225m).

Qatar Airways is already hedging a percentage of its fuel needs, Al Baker said.

[We have] a successful and efficient fuel hedging strategy…. up to 2013 we are hedged,” he said. “You have to take risk; it may be positive, it may become negative, but you have to take the risk.”
