A Perzsa-öböl-menti légitársaságok története, gazdasági háttere és működési mechanizmusa

The world air transport evolved from having three poles to four poles due to huge airline industry development carried out by the so-called ‘oil countries’ of the western shore of the Persian Gulf, which are small both in size and population. These countries are becoming protagonists of passenger and freight transport globally in the near future achieved by their performance, economic potential and determination.Beyond air passenger transport, there is an unprecedented demand for air freight transport.Few products have their prices decreased gradually since 1980, one such is flying. In line with this the demand for easily accessing continental and intercontinental destinations has increased. Economic prosperity has broadened, population is steadily increasing, the purchase of tickets has been simplified, former business travels have been supplemented by tourism which is widened to be mass tourism. Fewer airlines can compete with the price reduction. Low-cost airlines go on their specific, cost-effective way; however traditional airlines face growing security, technical and advertising expenditure and developing of comfort and luxury items.This—contrary to other European or American airlines—is achieved on the highest quality level with gaining profit by Gulf airlines, thus huge shift is under way on the stage of aviation.This study aims to review the air transport features of the region, the economic and historical rela-tions which are essential for understanding its complex system of relationships, furthermore to take into account the criterions for assessment of the operational, developmental and strategical inquiry of the policy of passenger transport pursued by Emirates, Etihad and Qatar Airways.
