The dissertation reports on the performance of Middle East airline industry aiming to look at the air passenger market and compare it to that of other countries.

The concept of 'flag carrier' is defined; the aviation modes and the basic economic features of the airlines are outlined for the Middle East and UK respectively, highlighting the effects of deregulation upon both markets. The conclusions are made about the political control over the industry and the development of longer-range aircraft.
