The Middle East aviation market has grown 5% since 2019, becoming the second-fastest-growing region globally, driven by Low-Cost Carrier (LCC) expansion and increased Legacy Carrier capacity. Emirates, Qatar Airways, and Saudia Group lead the region, with Flynas seeing a 63% capacity increase. LCCs now account for 29% of regional capacity, up from 13% in 2014. Egypt dominates LCC routes to Africa, with major competitive routes between Cairo, Dubai, and Riyadh.
