The Changing Dynamics of the Arab Gulf Based Airlines and an Investigation into the Strategies that are Making Emirates into a Global Challenger

Historically, the Middle East was known for holding the reigns of oil power across the globe. More recently, the region's conflicts have changed its international spotlight into being an unstable part of the world. However, the airlines of the Arab Gulf region are leading the world in aircraft orders and have also heavily invested in airport infrastructure. This paper examines the changing dynamics of the region's airlines and researches the core principles behind why the Gulf-based airlines are outperforming those of other regions. The strategies of the Arab Emirates' core competencies are examined to access the impact of its continued growth and profitability.
