00:00We have with us the CEO of the Arabian Airlines, Mr. Aydel Ali.

00:05Welcome, Mr. Aydel.

00:07Whenever we meet, we always have new numbers.

00:10God willing.

00:11As you can see, the number of visitors, the number of shows, the number of tourists,

00:20the number of travel companies and the number of travel companies in general.

00:26We have high expectations for the travel and tourism market in our region,

00:31the Arabian region in particular, the Gulf region and the UAE in particular.

00:37Despite the geopolitical situation in the region, despite the challenges,

00:43there is a great demand for the travel market.

00:47And, of course, the proof is the huge number of people in this exhibition that we see today.

00:53Mr. Aydel, given the geopolitical tensions in the region and their impact on the company's business,

00:58if there is an impact, how far will it go?

01:00On the other hand, we have seen climate changes, Mr. Aydel, during the past period.

01:05Of course, the amount of rain has been the most frequent and dense since 75 years ago,

01:12and it has affected the business and, among other things, the movement of planes.

01:15To what extent has it affected us, and is this impact still there,

01:19or have we fully prepared the schedule for the trips, even the travel costs and so on?

01:25Is there still some tension?

01:28Let's start with the first issue, which is the political issues in the eastern region,

01:34especially in Al-Aqsa.

01:37Thank God, so far we have not seen, despite the difficult conditions,

01:43we have not seen an impact on the travel market.

01:46So this is a different issue.

01:50The other issue is the air and weather disasters that have occurred.

01:55Of course, in the region, we are not used to such weather,

01:58not like what you mentioned, 75 years ago,

02:01and those who saw it before us are not present at this time.

02:05God willing, in the next season, we may not be present.

02:11But really,

02:13God willing,

02:15but the nature of the situation, what happened was unexpected.

02:19It had a negative effect on the priorities of the planes,

02:25of course, security and safety.

02:28We must go out in the air to be safe.

02:31The amount of rain, water and wind that came was unexpected in any field.

02:36In a quick way,

02:41all the airports in the country were able to return the flights to their nature quickly.

02:47I mean, we were in the plane carriage,

02:50within 24 hours of the end of the rain,

02:54our flights were 100% balanced.

02:57There was a delay.

02:59We must adapt to the weather, not only here in the region.

03:05We see big fluctuations in the weather in almost all the countries in the world.

03:11We have never seen this before,

03:14whether in the East or the West.

03:17Regardless of the effects, the weather is good here.

03:21Other places are affected by the weather.

03:24But what we saw in this country,

03:28despite the challenges that existed,

03:31the return of the flights to their nature was quick.

03:37The obstacles that I mentioned are natural.

03:40When hundreds of thousands of obstacles arrive at each airport and change every day,

03:45there were challenges, of course.

03:48But, thank God, the complete result that we saw,

03:51people arrived safely.

03:53There were no major damage.

03:55Everything returned to normal.

03:57We are ready for any event like this.

04:01Everyone learns from us.

04:03God willing, we will be more prepared.

04:07Let's go back to what we started with,

04:09which is the demand for travel.

04:11To what extent is the plane carriage ready to meet this demand?

04:16The plane carriage and other companies are all ready.

04:23But we must admit that there is a global challenge today,

04:28not only in the region, but globally.

04:31The companies that manufacture planes, engines,

04:36and other logistical services in the aircraft industry

04:40have been very slow since COVID-19 until now.

04:45They have not recovered their strength.

04:48This has slowed the expansion of work.

04:54But the demand for travel after COVID-19

04:59is expected to increase by 10%.

05:03This year, in 2024,

05:07we expect to increase the number of planes by 12.

05:12Yesterday, we started the first flights from a new airport

05:16in the Arab company in Morocco.

05:18The first flight was from Rabat to Brussels.

05:22In the previous interview with us,

05:24you mentioned that there will be three flights,

05:26if I remember correctly, with Morocco.

05:28That's right.

05:29Three planes.

05:30Two planes started and the third will arrive.

05:33Here, as usual,

05:35between the main headquarters in Sharjah

05:38and Ras al-Khaimah,

05:40we will also start new flights

05:42with the increase in tourism and the demand for tourism

05:45in Ras al-Khaimah.

05:47Our focus will be on the tourism market in Ras al-Khaimah.

05:50How much is the total fuel cost?

05:54How much is it compared to international companies?

05:57Today, fuel is a commodity

06:01that must be adapted to its increase and decrease.

06:05It can reach from 25% to 35%.

06:10So, it is necessary that all companies,

06:14including us,

06:16must have oil reserves.

06:21Thank you very much.

06:23You are welcome.
