ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IN GULF COUNTRIES AS A RESULT OF AIR TRANSPORTATION

Abstract

This article introduces additive technologies and explores their potential in aircraft construction. It examines the impact of air transportation on economic growth in four Gulf countries: the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar. These countries have seen significant economic transformation, with air transportation playing a crucial role. However, the extent of its impact varies due to differences in location, trade, tourism, infrastructure, and government policies. The study analyzes data on air transportation's influence on tourism, investment, infrastructure, trade, and airline operations, alongside historical context, and includes 2022-2023 revenue analysis for a major airline in each country.
