The 3 Gulf Carriers Nobody Talks About

Emirates, Qatar and Etihad  (AKA: EQE) have been the three carriers making the headlines lately.  Expanding aggressively worldwide with new fleet of planes, state of the arts facilities and excellent amenities and on board services, these carriers have taken the lead in opening up new markets and giving passengers attractive choices.

In the same geographical area, well endowed, but keeping low profiles, three other gulf carriers are only there to serve limited markets and without the fanfare and the frills of the EQE.
Kuwait Airways is not known for great on board service and they have not attempted to bring their brand to the 21st century as evidenced by their logo.  Gulf Air had the opportunity to shine in the eighties but chose not to expand even though they were the largest "gulf" carrier then.  Finally Saudia is the most serious of all. No fun, no alcohol served, and ultra conservative in the way they operate.  All 3 carriers are averse in having connecting passengers through their airports, a key point in the success of the EQE. www.premieretravel.com
