Political instability a threat to Gulf airline industry – IATA boss.
IATA top official believes that political instability in the Middle East is posing a threat to the region’s airline industry growth. The Middle East airline industry has not yet totally recovered from the Arab Spring – the 2010 series of protests and demonstrations across the region. That’s the view of IATA CE, Alexander de Juniac, who believes that continuing regional political instability is still affecting the industry. “The tourism industry in Egypt, for example, has not yet fully recovered from the impact of the Arab Spring,” he said. “The geopolitical instability and security threats hovering in the region are not encouraging the development of air traffic. What we have seen so far is that dynamic actors are able to overcome the challenges. But the more instability you have, the less attractive the region will be.” <br/>
