Etihad has abandoned an attempt to build a global network of smaller airlines after a string of failures, prompting the state-owned company to cut routes, shrink operations and slash plane orders worth $21.4 billion.
Air Arabia, U.A.E.’s only listed carrier, in August posted a 75% jump in second-quarter profit to 210 million dirhams ($57.2 million). The shares have gained 33% since the beginning of the year.
